Frames are used to organize a web site into multiple sections on a page. Frames work by telling the browser which HTML page to use on which section, or frame of the screen. Frames are frequently used to have a portion of the screen as the menu bar for the site.
Here is an example of the source code of a page with two frames:
<TITLE>Web Site Name</TITLE>
<FRAMESET ROWS="70%,30%">
<FRAME SRC="page1.html" NAME="First">
<FRAME SRC="page2.html" Name="Second">
</FRAMESET>
The <FRAMESET> tag is used to tell the browser to use frames. Rows means there will be a frame on the top and on the bottom. The top frame will be page1.html and take up 70% of the screen. The bottom frame will be page2.html and take up the remaining 30% of the screen. By substituting rows for cols, the frames would be on the left and right instead of the top and bottom.
