Frames allow multiple scrollable windows in a document. You can have a fixed frame with multiple sub-frames of dynamic content, and you can assign a unique URL to each frame.

Frames have numerous uses. See Netscape's Description of Frames for a description of frames and how to create them.

Web creation tools like Microsoft FrontPage can save you a lot of time and effort in making frames.

Remember that not all browsers support frames. You might want to provide framed and non-framed versions of your pages as a convenience to your viewers.
