Frame HTML

HTML <frame> Tag

The HTML <frame> Tag is not supported in HTML5. It was used to specify an area in an HTML file to display another HTML web page within it. A web page is thus divided into multiple sections or frames. Different web pages are present in each frame. It is used with the HTML <frameset> tag. Nowadays, the HTML <iframe> or <div> tag can be used with CSS to get similar effects.
