<FRAME>
The FRAME element is used to define individual frames that make up a FRAMESET.
A frameset allows you to divide a web page into multiple windows which can be
scrolled independently of one another.
Client-side code such as Javascript and the TARGET attribute allow frames to
"talk" to each other. One of the most common uses of frames is to keep a
navigation element at a set position on the screen while the user scrolls
through a long section of content.
