HTML Frames : Java Glossary

Frames
<frameset rows="100,200">	</frameset>	surrounds rows of frames, pixels
<frameset rows="20%,80%">	</frameset>	relative space for each
<frameset rows=",">	</frameset>	let browser decide on spacing
<frameset cols="10,20">	</frameset>	surrounds cols of frames, pixels
<frameset cols="20%,80%">	</frameset>	relative space for each
<frameset cols=",">	</frameset>
<frameset frameborder="0"	</frameset>	no borders around the frames
<frame src="http://mindprod.com/x.html	>	where to get the html to fill the frame
<frame name="someFrame"	>	name a window for referencing via BASE
<frame noresize	>	don’t let user change frame size
<frame scrolling="auto"	>	yes, no, — scroll bars?
<frame marginheight="10"	>	pixels in border top/bottom.
<frame marginwidth="10"	>	pixels in border left/right.
<noframes>	</noframes>	sandwiches HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) to render the page if the browser does or will not support frames.
<base target="someFrame" href="http://mindprod.com/x.html">		In a menu frame document, one of the "tiles". allows one frame to load documents into another named frame for following HREFs. The HREF provide a default base for any relative hrefs coming. You can also use the magic names _blank, _self, _parent and _top as your frame target. See below for details.
<a href="xxx.html" target="someFrame">		Base is unchanged. Most browsers let you leave out the <BASE HREF, which allows code to work both locally and on a website, though strictly speaking the href is mandatory.

sandwiches HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) to render the page if the browser does or will not support frames.

In a menu frame document, one of the "tiles". allows one frame to load documents into another named frame for following HREFs. The HREF provide a default base for any relative hrefs coming. You can also use the magic names _blank, _self, _parent and _top as your frame target. See below for details.

Base is unchanged. Most browsers let you leave out the <BASE HREF, which allows code to work both locally and on a website, though strictly speaking the href is mandatory.

Frame Targets
_blank	in a new, unnamed window.
charlie	into the frame named charlie.
_parent	into parent frame (or this frame if no parent).
_self	in this frame.
_top	into the full, original window (thus cancelling all other frames). This is how you get rid of all frames.
