{{HTMLSidebar}}{{Deprecated_header}}

The <frameset> HTML element is used to contain {{HTMLElement("frame")}} elements.

Note: Because the use of frames is now discouraged in favor of using {{HTMLElement("iframe")}}, this element is not typically used by modern websites.

• cols {{Deprecated_Inline}}

  • : This attribute specifies the number and size of horizontal spaces in a frameset.

• rows {{Deprecated_Inline}}
