NS IE

<FRAME>

This tag defines a single frame in a frameset.

BORDERCOLOR
NS
Give the border of the frame a color. Because frame borders are shared, Navigator must resolve any border color conflicts.
  1. Any attribute appearing in the outermost FRAMESET has the lowest priority.
  2. This attribute is, in turn, overridden by any attribute used in a nested FRAMESET tag.
  3. Finally, any BORDERCOLOR attribute in the current FRAME tag overrides all previous FRAMESET tag uses.
If there is a conflict for two colors of equal priority both set on the same edge, the behavior is undefined.

FRAMEBORDER
NS IE
Provides the option to display or not display a border for a frame. Possible values are YES and NO.

YES causes an outline-3D border.
NO suppresses the 3D border, although the space the border would have occupied is is still present under control of the BORDER attribute of the FRAMESET tag.

When FRAMEBORDER appears in a FRAMESET tag, it sets a default FRAMEBORDER value for all frames in the frameset.

When FRAMEBORDER appears in the FRAME tag, it applies only to that particular frame, overriding any FRAMEBORDER established by an outer FRAMESET tag.

A border shared between frames is plain only if all adjacent frames have the FRAMEBORDER attribute set to NO.

When neither a FRAME nor a FRAMESET governing that FRAME has set FRAMEBORDER, the default setting is YES.


MARGINHEIGHT
NS IE
This attribute is used to control the vertical margins for the frame. If specified, the value for MARGINWIDTH is in pixels. Margins can not be less than one-so that frame objects will not touch frame edges-and can not be specified so that there is no space for the document contents. The MARGINWIDTH attribute is optional; by default, all frames default to letting the browser decide on an appropriate margin width.

MARGINWIDTH
NS IE
This attribute is used to control the horizontal margins for the frame. If specified, the value for MARGINWIDTH is in pixels. Margins can not be less than one-so that frame objects will not touch frame edges-and can not be specified so that there is no space for the document contents. The MARGINWIDTH attribute is optional; by default, all frames default to letting the browser decide on an appropriate margin width.

NAME
NS IE
The NAME attribute is used to assign a name to a frame so it can be targeted by links in other documents (These are usually from other frames in the same document.) The NAME attribute is optional; by default all windows are unnamed. Names must begin with an alphanumeric character. All other window names will be ignored.

Named frames can have their window contents targeted with the TARGET attribute of the A tag


NORESIZE
NS IE
The NORESIZE attribute is a flag that indicates that the frame is not resizable by the user. Users typically resize frames by draggin a frame edge to a new position. Note that if any frame adjacent to an edge is not resizable, that entire edge will be restricted from moving. This will effect the resizability of other frames.The NORESIZE attribute is optional; by default all frames are resizable.

SCROLLING
NS IE
The SCROLLING attribute is used to describe if the frame should have a scrollbar or not.

Value Description
YES Yes results in scrollbars always being visible on that frame.
NO No results in scrollbars never being visible.
AUTO Auto instructs the browser to decide whether scrollbars are needed, and place them where necessary.
The SCROLLING attribute is optional; the default value is AUTO.


SRC
NS IE
The SRC attribute takes as its value the URL of the document to be displayed in this particular frame. FRAMEs without SRC attributes are displayed as a blank space the size the frame would have been.
