2.14 FRAMES
HTML frames divide your browser window into many portions, each of which can load a different HTML document. A
frameset is a collection of frames in the browser window. In the same manner as tables are structured into rows and
columns, the window is divided into frames.
We use the <frameset> tag instead of the <body> tag to use frames on a page. The <frameset> tag specifies how the
window will be divided into frames. Horizontal frames are defined by the rows attribute of the <frameset> element,
whereas vertical frames are defined by the cols attribute. Each frame is identified by the <frame> tag, which specifies
which HTML document will be displayed in the frame.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Frames</title>
</head>
<frameset cols = "20%,60%,20%">
<frame name = "first" src = "a1.html">
<frame name = "second" src = "a3.html">
<frame name = "third" src = "a7.html">
</frameset>
</html>
2.15 FORMS IN HTML
HTML forms are used to collect information from the site visitors. Different types of forms can be created in HTML like
sign up/register, application form, feedback form, query from, etc. The three important components of a form in HTML
are: a <FORM> tag, the input controls and buttons.
The <FORM> tag is used to define a form in an HTML document. It is placed within the <BODY> tag. While designing
and building a form, we use different input elements that allow site visitors to type or select information. These
elements can include text fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc. All forms must include a Submit button. When the site
visitor fills in the information, then, it should be sent to the webserver for processing after the Submit button is clicked.
