TIP
When you're creating frameset documents, you might find it help-
ful to indent the
<frame>
tags so that they're separated from the
<frameset>
tags in your HTML document. This has no effect on
the appearance of the resulting web pages, but it does tend to
make the HTML source easier to read.
The
<noframes>
Tag
What happens if a browser that doesn't support frames navigates to a frameset docu-
ment? Nothing. You get a blank page. Fortunately, there's a way around this problem.
A special tag block called
<noframes>
enables you to include additional HTML code as
part of the frameset document. The code you enclose within the
<noframes>
element
isn't displayed in frames-compatible browsers, but it's displayed in browsers that don't
support frames. The
<noframes>
tag takes the following form:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Frameset with No Frames Content
</title>
</head>
