Definition and Usage

The <noframes> tag is used for browsers that do not handle frames.

The noframes element can contain all the elements that you can find inside the body element of a normal HTML page.

The noframes element is most used to link to a non-frameset version of the web site or to display a message to users that frames are required.

The noframes element goes inside the frameset element.

Browser Support

The <noframes> tag is supported in all major browsers.

Differences Between HTML and XHTML

Important: In the XHTML Frameset DTD, the text in the noframes element must be enclosed in a body element.

Tips and Notes

Note: If you want to validate a page containing frames, be sure the doctype is set to "Frameset DTD". Read more about doctypes.
