`<NOFRAMES>`

Usage Recommendation
use it if you use Frames

<NOFRAMES> holds text that should be displayed for people who don't have frames. A large percentage of people on the web don't use browsers which can read frames. You can avoid leaving out those people by using <NOFRAMES>.

<NOFRAMES> should be used in the same document as <FRAMESET ...>. <NOFRAMES> should be inside the outermost <FRAMESET ...> element.

this code produces this

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>NOFRAMES example</TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET ROWS="15%,*"> <FRAME SRC="recipetitlebar.html" NAME=TITLE> <FRAMESET COLS="20%,*"> <FRAME SRC="recipesidebar.html" NAME=SIDEBAR> <FRAME SRC="recipes.html" NAME=RECIPES> </FRAMESET> <NOFRAMES> <H1>Great Recipes</H1> No frames? No Problem! Take a look at our <A HREF="noframesrecipes.html">no-frames</A> version. </NOFRAMES> </FRAMESET> </HTML>
this page
Of course, if your browser can do frames, you won't see the content of the <NOFRAMES>, but it looks something like this.

The proposed specifications for HTML 4.0 state that <NOFRAMES> can also go in the <BODY ...> element of a regular page. This allows you to add some content that was originally intended for another frame. Unfortunately, most of the browsers don't recognize this construct, so the content of <NOFRAMES> will be visible to the users.

this code produces this

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Example of NOFRAMES in the BODY</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <NOFRAMES> <H1>My Home Page</H1> </NOFRAMES> regular BODY contents </BODY> </HTML>
