I’ve been asked by a client to create a standard HTML5 template but include a frame (Frameset not iframe) to use as the footer.

I’ve only worked with frames a handful of times so I don’t really know if it’s possible or not.

Here’s a very simple example of what I need

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>

<body>

<div id="content">
    <!-- ALL CONTENT GOES HERE -->
</div>

<!-- FOOTER FRAME WOULD GO HERE -->

</body>
</html>

    From HTML5 differences from HTML4:

    The following elements are not in HTML5 because using them damages usability and accessibility:

    frame
frameset
noframes

    what your client wants to do can be done within the page without using frames, even though it’s not completely easy. One approach would be to have a content area that has overflow: auto(causing it to be scrolled) and stretches almost to the bottom of the page.

    Another approach is to have a footer div that is position: fixed.
