Syntax
Description
Without a
cols or rows attribute, the
browser will not know what layout the author intended. If a
frameset comprising 3 windows, laid out in row
formation is required (as detailed in the the example HTML), the
rows attribute is used, along with the values of
the respective window heights.
Example
A frameset
comprising 3 rows of windows:
<frameset rows="33%,33%,*"> <frame src="frame1.html"/> <frame src="frame2.html"/> <frame src="frame3.html"/> </frameset>
Value
Each frame’s
height is set in the parent frameset in the
rows attribute in a comma-separated list.
Acceptable values are integers (which represents a height in pixels - do
not need to specify that it’s pixels, this is assumed), percentages and a
"*" character, which represents the remaining space
required (whatever that value may equate to). Each of the examples below
show valid values for the frameset:
<frameset rows="400,200,*"> window 1 is 400 pixels high, window 2 is 200 pixels high, window 3 is flexible <frameset rows="30%,*,10%"> window 1 takes up 30%, window 2 is flexible, window 3 takes up 10% <frameset rows="20%,20%,60%"> windows 1 and 2 take 20% of the height each, window three takes up 60%
