Frames divide the browser window into scrollable regions each containing a different document.
The types of document displayed in each frame can vary from plain text, images, multimedia to another frames document. Each frame can contain URLs which can be activated and loaded into its own window independent of the other frames. It can also contain URLs and targets so that when an URL is selected, the new document is loaded into a targeted frame. As daunting as they may seem, frames are a useful tool. One of the most effective ways of implementing frames is to use a collection of targeted hypertext links to navigate through a Web site.
