The <frameset> tag
Definition and Usage
The frameset element defines a frameset. It is used to organize multiple windows (frames). Each frame holds a separate document. In its simplest use, the frameset element states only how many columns or rows there will be in the frameset. You must use the cols or the rows attribute.
Tips and Notes
Note: If you want to validate a page containing frames, be sure the
DTD is set to "Frameset DTD". Read more about XHTML
Validation.
Note: Do not use the body element on a page containing frames. The frames wont work if you do that.
