{{Deprecated_header}}

The <frameset> HTML element is used to contain {{HTMLElement("frame")}} elements.

[!NOTE] Because the use of frames is now discouraged in favor of using {{HTMLElement("iframe")}}, this element is not typically used by modern websites.

Attributes

Like all other HTML elements, this element supports the global attributes.

  • cols {{Deprecated_Inline}}
    • : This attribute specifies the number and size of horizontal spaces in a frameset.
  • rows {{Deprecated_Inline}}
    • : This attribute specifies the number and size of vertical spaces in a frameset.

Example

A frameset document

A frameset document has a <frameset> element instead of a {{HTMLElement("body")}} element. The {{HTMLElement("frame")}} elements are placed within the <frameset>.

html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <!-- Document metadata goes here -->
  </head>
  <frameset cols="50%, 50%">
    <frame
      src="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/iframe" />
    <frame
      src="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/frame" />
  </frameset>
</html>

If you want to embed another HTML page into the {{HTMLElement("body")}} of a document, use an {{HTMLElement("iframe")}} element.
