The following are examples of JavaScript Frames
Understanding Frames
Using frames on a Web site is a rather controversial issue. The decision of whether or not to use them is up to you. It depends on your navigational requirements and other Web site issues you might have. If you don't know anything about frames, learning some basic information will help you determine whether they would be useful to you.
Frames divide a window into two or more seperate areas (a frameset), each containing different content. This differs from tables in taht the divisions in a frameset each contain a separate Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document, and you can change one of the sections without affecting the other sections.
Frames have several applications. For instance, you can use them to create a site-wide navigation system, of you can create a reference system where the table of contents is in one frame and the corresponding content appears in another.
Using Frames
In order to show you frames in use, the easiest way to do this is to direct you to another page where they will be displayed. Links within each page (here and the new page) will direct you back and forth for the reminder of the demonstration.
To give you a brief breakdown, Frame 1 is on top followed by Frame 2 to the left, Frame 3 in the middle and Frames 4-11 on the right. The top frame holds the navigation and stored variables, the middle frame holds the breakout and the right frames uses the stored variables.
