The HTML <frame> element's src attribute is used to specify the URL of the webpage or content to be displayed within the frame. It allows different documents or resources to be embedded into a specific frame section. However, the <frame> element is deprecated in HTML5, and using the <iframe> element is recommended for embedding content.
Syntax
<frame src="URL">Attribute Values
It contains a single value URL which specifies the source of the document. The possible value of the URL is:
- absolute URL: It points to another website.
- relative URL: It points to a file within a website.
Note: The <frame> src Attribute is not supported by HTML 5.
Example: In this example we use a <frameset> with three columns. Each column displays an image (attr1.png, gradient3.png, col_last.png) in separate frames, defined by the frame tags with src attributes.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML frame src Attribute</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="30%, 40%, 30%">
<frame name="top"
src="attr1.png" />
<frame name="main"
src="gradient3.png" />
<frame name="bottom"
src="col_last.png" />
</frameset>
</html>
