Guide to frames usage


Frames syntax: the NOFRAMES element

If a browser does not support frames, it will ignore the FRAMESET and FRAME elements that define the frameset. To provide alternative content, text that should be displayed (typically the BODY part of a normal HTML document) must be enclosed in <NOFRAMES> and </NOFRAMES>. This element goes inside the outermost FRAMESET tag.

An example of its usage is:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A frameset document which has a noframes alternative</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="*,*">
<FRAME SRC="foo.html" NAME=foo>
<FRAME SRC="bar.html" NAME=bar>
<NOFRAMES>
<BODY>
This is the noframes alternative section. 
Any block-level HTML element may be used here.
</BODY>
</NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
