    For layout purposes, try CSS grids with this CSS Grid generator

    Hope that helps.

      You can't.  Why do you think you need frames?

      • Frames & framesets are obsolete because everyone agreed they were a usability nightmare.
      • HTML5 doesn't support frames, never did. 
      • Mobile devices don't support frames, never did.
      • Adobe dropped frames from Dreamweaver in 2013. 
      • Nobody should build framed sites anymore.

        Even iFrames if you can avoid them hey. I not heard someone mention frames and framesets for years. To see someone wanting to use them in 2021 is a suprise to say the least.


        As Nancy has stated - Drop that out of your head ASAP.

        HTML5 is your thinking.

        CSS Grids is the future but I would urge a caution of compatbility especially because of Microsoft. It will be a bit more viable 2022 I think to use more for a client with a large target audiance for example but in terms of learning purposes go for it.

        Frameworks such as Bootstrap to help you form your layout (Foundation is another but I am not a fan of this one) will help you produce your structure and layout of the site as well. (Latest all support Flex)

          @Liam Dilley,

          Nobody uses IE anymore. IE was replaced by Edge.

          https://gs.statcounter.com/

           

          All modern browsers support CSS Grids as well as Flexbox. 

          https://caniuse.com/css-grid

           

          When someone chooses to use an outdated browser, that's their problem.  They know they have an inferior browser and their user experience is diminshed by it on ALL websites.
