Frame Advantages
Certain parts of the interface (e.g., a TOC)
are always on the screen
Can avoid retyping common sections of
multiple Web pages
Consistent use across a large site
sometimes simplifies user navigation
A convenient way to mix text-oriented HTML
with Java applets
Image maps are more convenient if the map
image remains on screen and only the
results section changes

Frame Disadvantages
The meaning of the Back and Forward
buttons can be confusing
Poorly designed frames can get the user
lost
Hard to find real URL of a page you want
Printing problems!
Hard to bookmark "configuration"
Some very old browsers do not support
frames
Security
Hackers can insert frame cells into your pages in some
circumstances, perhaps stealing information intended for
your site

FRAMESET Attributes
COLS, ROWS
A comma-separated list of pixel values, percentages, and
weighted remainders
FRAMESET entries should always specify at least two
rows or columns. Netscape problems if not!
Examples
<FRAMESET ROWS="50,10%,*,2*">
...
</FRAMESET>
<FRAMESET COLS="25%,*,*">
...
</FRAMESET>

Summary
Frames require a Frameset DOCTYPE for
validation
A FRAMESET can be divided either into
columns or rows
To create both rows and columns use nested
FRAMESETs
By giving a FRAME a name, documents can
be targeted to the named frame cell
<FRAME NAME="">
<A HREF="" TARGET="">
There are four predefined frame names
_blank, _top, _parent, and _self
