The <frame> element identifies the content to be displayed in a single pane of a frameset.
Differences between HTML, XHTML, and XHTML-MP
In HTML, the <frame> element is not closed. To conform to XHTML, you must properly close the <frame> element.
XHMTL-MP does not support frames.
Considerations
Although the <frame> element is supported by the browser, this is mainly to support content designed for desktop browsers. You should not include frames in content designed for the BlackBerry device.
