The Book place

The number of values indicates the number of either columns or
rows, and the values themselves establish the size of the columns or rows. Thus, a tag that
looks like this

denotes three columns of widths 67, 355, and 68, respectively. And this frameset tag

declares that two columns exist with the specified widths (270 and 232), and two rows exist with the specified
heights (384 and 400).
Sizing frames
Column widths and row heights can be set as absolute measurements in pixels or expressed as a percentage
of the entire screen. HTML frames also support an attribute that assigns the size relative to the other
columns or rows. In other words, the relative attribute (designated with an asterisk) assigns the balance of
the remaining available screen space to a column or row. For example, the following frameset

Adding Advanced Design Features Part III
sets up two frames, one 80 pixels wide and the other as large as the browser window allows. This ensures
that the first column is always a constant size??”making it perfect for a set of navigational buttons??”
whereas the second is as wide as possible.
The relative attribute can also be used proportionally.
