How to View HTML Framesets

Framesets are used to display separate Web pages in one screen. Its HTML code includes each Web page's frame size, scrolling options, links and target frame. Each frame is a separate HTML page with its own scrollbar and contents. Pages can appear above or below other frames and/or side-by-side. You can view the HTML code for framesets and their individual frames in a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. The source code can be saved, analyzed and modified.
