Last Updated: May 6, 2021

Basically, a framed document divides a browser window into multiple panes or smaller window frames. Each frame can contain a different document. The benefit of making frames are user can view information in one frame while keeping another frame open for reference instead of moving back and forth between pages. The contents of one frame can be manipulated or linked to the contents of other. This enables the web page designer to build sophisticated interfaces.
