Using Frames

Using Frames is a web design technique that allows you to display two (or more) web pages in the same browser window. Frames provide a more flexible way of presenting the information on your screen. Their most common uses are:

• To provide a consistent navigational aid.
• To provide a consistent page heading.
• To improve loading time. For example, the menu bar may be contained in one frame, and the main body of content in another frame. When the page is first accessed, both frames are loaded. However, when the user clicks on an item in the menu bar, only the main content frame needs to be reloaded; the menu frame is already in memory.
