Explanation

The frameset tag specifies how to separate the window into frames. Specifying frameset rows="20%,100", The top and bottom frame is created (top is 20% of the window size : bottom is 100 pixels high). Specifying framset cols="30%,100,*", the frame split into 3 columns is created (from the left, first is 30% of the window size : second is 100 pixels wide : third is the rest). Specifying frameset rows="100,2*,3*", the frame with 3 rows is created (from the top, first is 100 pixels high : the rest is split the available space into the proportion of 2 part to 3). Specifying frameset rows="100,*", two frames is created. But the bottom frame is 0 pixels and is unvisible.
As the <frameset> can be nested, you can create frames inside of frames.
