the section called, appropriately enough, “The <noframes> Tag.”) The <frameset> tags
contain only the definitions for the frames in this document—what's called the page's
frameset .
The HTML 4.01 specification supports the <frameset> tag along with two possible
attributes: cols and rows .
The cols Attribute
When you define a <frameset> tag, you must include one of two attributes as part of the
tag definition. The first of these attributes is the cols attribute, which takes the following
form:
<frameset cols=“ column width, column width, ...”>
The cols attribute tells the browser to split the screen into a number of vertical frames
whose widths are defined by column width values separated by commas. You define the
width of each frame in one of three ways: explicitly in pixels, as a percentage of the total
width of the <frameset> , or with an asterisk ( * ). When you use the asterisk, the frames-
compatible browser uses as much space as possible for that frame.
When included in a complete frame definition, the following <frameset> tag splits the
browser into three vertical frames, as shown in Figure 17.8. The fifth line in the follow-
ing code example creates a left frame 100 pixels wide, a middle column that's 50% of
the width of the browser, and a right column that uses all the remaining space:
Input
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Three Columns </title>
</head>
<frameset cols=”100,50%,*”>
<frame src=”leftcol.html”>
<frame src=”midcol.html”>
<frame src=”rightcol.html”>
</frameset>
</html>
