- Description
- Defines the structure of the frames on the web page. Frames divide the browser window into the separate areas, which are located close to each other. Self-contained web page, which is defined by tag <FRAME>, is downloaded to each of such areas. With the help of frames the web page is divided into two or more documents, which usually contain site navigation or its content. Frame work allows opening of the documents in one frame, while following the link from the other frame.
- Some peculiarities of using the frames:
- - search engines works poorly with the frame structure, because there are no links to another documents on the pages, which contain the content;
- - frames hide the address of the page, which the user visits and it is defined by the tag TITLE. Frames show only the site address;
- - great number of frames require more memory than normal for the browser;
