Foil 37 Frame Basics in Netscape HTML -- Rules

From CPS616 Lectures on JavaScript CPS616 Basic Information Track for Computational Science -- Winter-Spring Semester 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

A document that contains a FRAMESET must NOT have a BODY tag and so normal HTML tags cannot appear in a document that defines these containers
One needs an end </FRAMESET> tag for each <FRAMESET> but no end tag for <FRAMES>'s
Note JavaScript can appear in header of a document defining frames and these JavaScript properties and methods can always be accessed (in read or write mode) by documents inside frames by refering to as top.property/method
Anything inside <NOFRAMES> .... </NOFRAMES> container will be ignored by a Framess capable browser (such as Netscape 2.0) and output by one that cannot produce frames such as Netscape 1.X
