How to Create Frames & Borders
A web frame is a section that you create in an HTML document in which you can insert another web page or a graphic or image. One of the simplest ways to separate frames when multiple frames are on a page is to add a border. Adding a border places a line around each of the frames you create. You need a general understanding of HTML to create frames and borders.
