Frame

A window can display multiple, independently scrollable frames on a single screen, each with its own distinct URL. These frames are created using the FRAME tag inside a FRAMESET tag. Frames can point to different URLs and be targeted by other URLs, all within the same screen. A series of frames makes up a page. The Frame object is a convenience for thinking about the objects that constitute these frames. However, JavaScript actually represents a frame using a Window object. Every Frame object is a Window object, and has all the methods and properties of a Window object. There are a small number of minor differences between a window that is a frame and a top-level window. See Window for complete information on frames.
