No Frames

"Now what about those poor saps who own old browsers that don't know what the heck a <frameset> tag is?", you ask. Well, along with the creation of the frame tags, another tag arose, the <noframes> tag. The browsers that support the frame tags ignore all the content between the <noframes> and </noframes> tags. The browsers that don't support frames, on the other hand, don't know this and simply ignore the tags, displaying the content between them. Below is an example. 

<HTML> 
<HEAD><TITLE>This is the Control Page</TITLE></HEAD> 
<FRAMESET ROWS="*,50%"> 
<FRAME SRC="testone.html">
<FRAME SRC="testtwo.html">
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
<BODY>
Your browser can't read frames - so you are out of luck!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
</BODY>
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>

When a browser that supports frames renders this page, it completely ignores all the content between the <noframes> tags. However, when an older browser that doesn't support frames reads this page, it simply ignores all the <frameset>, <frame> and <noframes> tags and so displays all the content between the <noframes> tags.

So what does this mean? Well, for one you can give those with no frame support a message. You can also provide a link to a non-frame version of your site. And those with frame support won't get the message because the browser will ignore it.
