Tag.

5) "*" --->wildcard Character--->representing remaining spaces(for example: rows="40%,40%,*"--->*(Remaining
Space=20%)
Example of Frameset Tag:
1)Dividing Our webpage into two frames Vertically:(using cols attribute)
OUTPUT:
2)Dividing Our webpage into two frames horizontally.(Using rows attribute)
OUTPUT:
3)Divide your webpage into two rows where the second row is again divided into three columns.

Example1:
Q.write html code to draw the following table using html and then modify the code into html 5.
