Chapter 5. Frames, Frames, and More FramesFrames are a useful feature of HTML, though they have fallen somewhat out of favor over the past few years . In this chapter, we'll demonstrate how to harness the power of JavaScript to make frames even more useful. A frame consists of at least three pages of HTML. The first, called the frameset , sets up the dimensions of each of the child frames. The frameset is referred to in JavaScript as top or parent . The remainder of the pages fit into the panes that the frameset has created and are the child pages. These can be named anything you choose. Figure 5.1 shows a frameset that creates two child frames, "left" and "content". Figure 5.1. Layout of a frameset that contains two frames, "left" and "content".
