Working with frames
Frames divide a Web browser window into sections that contain separate pages. Using frames, you can make your page layout more visually interesting and help viewers navigate in your Web site. Since the content of each frame is a separate page (and separate file) with its own URL, it can be changed and scrolled independently of the pages in other frames. For example, you can use frames to create an onscreen navigation aid or table of contents that remains visible in one frame while the viewer scrolls through the page in another frame.
Note: Frames don't work well with Web search engines because they have no content. For this reason, it's a good idea to not use a frame set for your index page. Also, you can't set bookmarks in the browser for frame-based Web pages because the URLs map to the frame set rather than the desired pages.
