HTML Frameset Tag
The Frameset Element is used to define a set of frames in a page. The frameset element replaces the body element, pages which are using frames should use the frameset doctype.
Warning
Better results can often be achieved using HTML div elements to devide a page into several sections, CSS can be used to give the elements a scroll-bar. Using div elements allow for better indexing in search engines, and are more user-friendly then frames.
