Definition and Usage

The <noframes> tag is not supported in HTML5.

The <noframes> tag is a fallback tag for browsers that do not support frames. It can contain all the HTML elements that you can find inside the <body> element of a normal HTML page.

The <noframes> element can be 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.

Note: If you want to validate a page containing frames, be sure the <!DOCTYPE> is set to either "HTML Frameset DTD" or "XHTML Frameset DTD".
