Note: One Netscape publication states that <frames> started with Netscape 2.0. However, another publication states that <noframes> started with 1.0. help

This tag is used to impart text to those browsers that do not support frames or that have frames "turned off". The objective is to avoid a "dead screen". To use it, in your <frameset> page, define all of your columns and rows normally. After closing the <frameset>s, open a <noframes> section and define a normal page (bounded by the <body> tag as normal) to replace the frame structure. Usually, you would put a table of contents in the <noframes> section.

The <noframes> element can take the <body> element and all subsequent tags, within it.

Example:
<html>
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frame name="first" src="some page.htm">
<frame name="second" src="another page.htm">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>

All kinds of neat stuff to show the reader when she turns frames off. This is all of the normal tags found in any <body> section of a page.

</body>
</noframes>
