frameset and frame elements are obsolete.

+HTML and XHTML documents that use frames
+The objective of this technique is to demonstrate how framesets can be used to group + blocks of repeated material. Since most user agents and assistive technology provide a + way to navigate from frame to frame, using frames to organize elements can provide a + mechanism for easily bypassing blocks of repeated content. If the site uses framesets, + organize the blocks of content into separate frames. Make certain that the repeated + blocks of content appear in the same frame within the frameset of each Web page. In + addition, each frame element must have a title attribute to describe the content of the + frame. When frames are properly titled, users can use frame navigation to easily + navigate between blocks of content.
+This technique is appropriate when framesets are already used to organize the content + of the page; other techniques are preferred for pages that are not already using + framesets, because many people using assistive technology have trouble with frames . An + advisory technique about using noframes is available in Success Criterion 1.1.1.
+In HTML5 the frame element is marked as obsolete.
The following example shows the use of two frames to organize content. The source + of the first frame is the Web page, navigation.html, which contains the HTML for the + navigation. This frame has a title attribute which identifies it as a navigation + bar. The second frame contains the main content of the site as indicated by the + source parameter of main.html and the title attribute, "Main News Content" which + identifies its function.
+ +<frameset cols="20%, *"> + <frame src="navigation.html" name="navbar" title="Navigation Bar" /> + <frame src="main.html" name="maincontent" title="Main News Content" /> + <noframes> + <p>View <a href="noframe.html">no frame version</a>.</p> + </noframes> +</frameset>+
If the Web page uses frames to organize content:
