FRAMESET

Description

The FRAMESET element is used instead of the BODY element.

It is used in an HTML document whose sole purpose is to define the

layout of the sub-HTML documents, or Frames, that will make up the page.

The ROWS and COLS values are comma-separated lists describing the

row-heights and column-widths of the Frames.

Variations

The FRAMESET element is a Netscape 2.0 enhancement. Netscape 2.0

restricts the ROWS and COLS values to integers with an optional suffix

to define the units. Default units are pixels. A percentsign suffix

indicates the value is a percentage between 1 and 100.

A suffix of an asterisk may be used

to specify a number to be used as a multiplier of a "standard" width/height.

This is used to specify the widths/heights of Frames proportionately relative

to each other.

If a number does not accompany the asterisk it defaults to one.
