Browser/Frame Window Types
• _self: Default. The new page will load in the same window that the link is in. If
the link is in a frame, it will load inside the frame.
• _blank: The Web linked page loads in a new window and does not name the window.
• _top: The new page will load into the top window no matter how many framesets
deep the link is embedded.
• _parent: The new page will load in the parent frame or window.
• Named (top, left, main, header, nav, guts, etc.): used in frames to direct file
opening locations.
Controlling Frames
Some of the original frame formatting has become deprecated, like margins.
• Borders and spacing: shows or doesn’t show borders of frames. Ex.
frameborder=NO framespacing=0 border=0
• Scrolling: shows or limits scrolling on sides of frame(s). Yes-absolute, no-none,
auto-as needed, default.
• Resize: Allow or disallow resizing of frame area. For non-resizable windows, add
the parameter “noresize”.
• Noframe: Add the tag for browsers that don’t support frames.
