HTML Frames
HTML5 Fundamentals #1 Document Structure
Before we being learning about the individual elements that make up an HTML5 page, it's important to understand how a proper HTML page is structured, and just *what* makes it an HTML page.
HTML - Frames
Frames are not very commonly used in websites but the can be useful in some instances. Basically frames will split up your browser screen so that it is possible to view two or more different web pages at once.
Frames
A frameset is simply an HTML document that tells the browser how to divide the screen into split windows.
Frames and the Frameset
Frames help the developer split a page into two parts. One of the simplest frame set splits the page into main information and the menu.Each window of a frame set contains an HTML document. Hence, a 2 frame "frame set" consists of three HTML documents. One is the frame set HTML, One is the Menu HTML, and the last is the Main Information HTML.
Iframes
iFrame is a fancy name for how HTML can be used to display another page's content within its own page. It can be handy if you have a news page you edit news into and that you want to display in your main layout without editing the layout each time.
Targeting iFrames
This tutorial is for you if you are having problems figuring out how to open links in iframe.
Frames
Frames are used to divide your web screen in different parts that can each behave independently.

Frames and Spiders
Will the use of frames stop your pages from being spidered properly by the search engines? Not if you follow these guidelines!
Margins Through Frames Tutorial
This method may or may not be the best for your site. Just learn what you can, and go from there.Let's say you want to have your main page content a certain width. Of course, you could use frames or tables and simply specify the width in pixels.But what if you want it centered in the middle of the page with equal "Margins" on both sides, no matter at what size the user's screen is set?Then your content will be in a window of a specific size in the middle of the screen.
Inline Frames
Learn how to embed a page by using a floating frame. Floating or inline frames enables a full page to be added inside another. Unlike PHP and SHTML, inline frames use a .html file as the embeded file and includes a scrollbar.
IFrames
IFrames are different from regular frames, because unlike regular frames, IFrames can be positioned anywhere on the page, and can be any size.
Iframes Basics
I'll show you this lovely little trinket called IFrames. What it does is it can load a whole new page (ie. html, php, etc..) within or embedded in your current page. This really lets all those people who want to have lets say a news box within their graphical interface but not have the user to scroll down the whole browser window.
Using iFrames
The Iframe, or inline-frame, is a lot like a normal frame, except that it can be displayed anywhere, which makes it a useful (although irritating if overused) thing to know, it is also a very simple tag to use.
Can I Optimize A Site Designed With Frames?
Can you optimize a site designed in frames? Of course you can! The question should be, "how effectively can I optimize a web sire designed in frames?" Framed sites - in my opinion - have little use in today's web design. There are so many better ways to design a site. For example, you have HTML, DHTML, Flash, and other design formats.
Frame Tag and no Frame Tag Roles in Effective Search Engine Optimization
If your pages are framed, are you sure search engines will recognize the content? With the no frame tag they will. Heres how to create the magical tags.
Basic Iframe Code
Inline frames are getting used more and more frequently around the internet, one of the most frequent problems is that Iframes aren't used correctly. I have written this tutorial to hopefully teach you how not to make any mistakes when it comes to using these quickly growing alternatives to frames.
Using Frames
Framesets are not recommended if you want search engines to be able to read the content within your site, used well these can look nice but you probably won't get good search engine rankings.
