Frame SupportAll modern browsers support the use of frames and have had for the past several years. There are, however, a few people that don't have modern browsers or just don't like frames and have disabled frame support in their browser. For these rare cases, there is a <noframes> tag. This tag is coded after the frameset and can present regular text and HTML for people not using frames to see. This is often either a message to turn on their frames support or a link to a non-framed version of the page. Here's a <noframes> tagset in action:
<html> The above code would present its message if the browser did not support frames. Otherwise, the message is invisible. Making A <body>There are some enhancements you can make to the <noframes> tag. One is adding a <body> to the section. This is the only case where you'd have a <body> inside the <head> of a page.
<html> Using the <body> tag above, I'm able to insure a white background and black text. Don't get carried away with content inside the <noframes> tags. Make it a simple warning or a link to a non-frames page. SummaryYou should include a <noframes> section with your <frameset> pages for people whose browsers don't support frames. The content of the <noframes> section should be a simple link or warning. |
