7. Attributes of <frameset>
BORDER:
Sets the border between frames.
The value determines the thickness in pixels.
BORDERCOLOR:
Sets the color of the border.
Takes color names or hexadecimal color codes as value.
Applicable only if FRAMEBORDER is set.
FRAMEBORDER:
A '1' or 'yes' value displays a border while '0' or 'no' removes the border.
The BORDERCOLOR attribute work only if this attribute is set to display a border.

8. Attributes of <frameset>
FRAMESPACING:
Places some space between the edges of the frame and its contents.
Value has to be specified in pixels
COLS and ROWS:
We've met COLS before. ROWS is similar and puts frames in horizontals rows instead of vertical columns.
The values taken by these attributes can be a number (which determines the size in pixels) or percentages or wildcard

9. Attribute of <frame>
SRC:
required attribute URL of a document to load in the frame.
BORDERCOLOR:
Defines color for the border.
FRAMEBORDER:
Places a border. values can be '1' or 'YES' that display a border or '0' or NO' which prevent border display.
MARGINWIDTH:
Defines the amount of space in pixels between the left and right hand sides of the frame and its contents.
MARGINHEIGHT:
Defines the amount of space in pixels between the top and bottom edges of the frame and its contents.

10. Attribute of <frame>
NAME:
Specifies a name for the frame that can be used for easy reference.
This is especially helpful when using scripting languages such as JavaScript or VBScipt.
NORESIZE:
Frames can be sized by the user if a border is present.
By placing this attribute, you can prevent your visitors from resizing frames. This attribute takes no values.
SCROLLING:
'YES' will display a scroll bar even though one is not required.
‘NO' will prevent any scroll bars and 'AUTO' lets the browser to decide if the frame needs a scroll bar.

11. Example of Nested Frame
<FRAMESET ROWS="20%, *"> <FRAME SRC="topframe.html“ NAME="top"> <FRAMESET COLS="50%, *"> <FRAME SRC="leftbot.html“ NAME="left_bot"> <FRAME SRC="rightbot.html“ NAME="right_bot"> </FRAMESET>

12. Target Attribute of <a>
_blank: Indicates a new window.
_parent: Specifies the parent frame which contains the source link.
_self: The new document is loaded in the same frame.
_top: This indicates a new document window. It is a good way to break out of frames and load the document in the same window.
frame-name: You can use this to specify in which frame the document should be loaded.
RESOURCE WINDOW: This loads the document in a new browser window. This is same as _blank.

13. Example
<A HREF="test.html" TARGET="_blank"> Loads test.html in a new browser window</A> <A HREF="test2.html" TARGET="_self"> Loads test2.html in this window</A> <A HREF="test2.html" TARGET=“mainFrame"> Loads test2.html in frame named mainFrame</A>
