Framed Web Pages
A frames page is a special kind of HTML
page that divides the browser window into different areas called
frames, each of which can display a different page. Clicking a
hyperlink on a page in one frame usually displays the page pointed
to by that hyperlink in another frame.
A
frames page itself contains no visible content: It's just a
container that specifies which other pages to display and how to
display them. When you click a hyperlink on a page displayed in one
frame, the page pointed to by that hyperlink typically is displayed
in another frame, called the target frame.
Frames pages are often used for
catalogs, lists of articles, or any other kind of page where
clicking a hyperlink in one frame displays a page in another frame.
Authors use frames pages because they contain built-in navigation
and present a consistent user interface (that is, the structure and
layout of frames).
