This chapter continues your study of XHTML. It introduces using frames.

Have you ever visited a web site and noticed that a portion of the browser window remains stationary while other parts can scroll? If so - you were probably visiting a web site that used XHTML to create frames, or separate areas of a browser window. This chapter introduces you to this technique.

Be aware that there is a controversy surrounding the use of frames on web pages -- some designers love the convenience and efficiency -- other designers question their usability. Whether you love or hate them, frames are part of the web and developers need to feel comfortable using and maintaining them.
