noframestag was used as a fallback for browsers that did not support the <frame> element. - It had to be placed within the <frameset> element.

Usage of HTML <noframes> Tags
Before it was deprecated, you could have used HTML <noframes> tags to wrap fallback content for the browsers which did not support the <frame> tag:
Example
<frameset cols="300, *">
<frame src="frame_a.htm">
<frame src="frame_b.htm">
<noframes>
<body>Frames element is not supported by this browser.</body>
</noframes>
</frame>
</frame>
</frameset>Usually, it was used in one of these two ways:
- To inform the user their browser does not support frames
- To present an alternative page version with similar functionalities available
Tip: in HTML5, frames are not supported - however, you may use <iframe> as an alternative.
