HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
As if you haven't had enough already, here's a refresher course of questions, quizzes, and
exercises that will help you remember some of the most important points you learned in
this lesson.
Q&A
Q Is there any limit to how many levels of
<frameset>
tags I can nest within a
single screen?
A
No, there isn't a limit. Practically speaking, however, the available window space
starts to become too small to be usable when you get below about four levels.
Q What would happen if I included a reference to a frameset document within a
<frame>
tag?
A
Most browsers that support frames handle such references correctly by treating the
nested frameset document as a nested
<frameset>
. In fact, this technique is used
regularly to reduce the complexity of nested frames.
One limitation does exist, however: You cannot include a reference to the current
frameset document in one of its own frames. This situation, called
recursion
,
causes an infinite loop.
