Does frame tag need an end tag?

Question

Should I put an end tag when using frame tag?

<frame name="a" src="a.php" />

Is the closing tag / necessary?

Actually it's not even supported in HTML5. Use `` instead. – VaioWay Apr 29 '16 at 16:54 — VaioWay, Apr 29 '16 at 16:54

In HTML, the tag has no end tag. In XHTML, the tag must be properly closed.

No, you do not even need the /> - see here.

Please note, <frame> is deprecated in HTML5. It is highly advisable to use a different solution.
