How is a frame accessed from other frames?

Rating:

The browser window that is opened is a single frame window, which can display only one HTML page. To display multiple HTML pages in a single window, the window is divided into multiple frames. Each frame can be considered as a separate window. The src attribute of the frame tag sets the URL of the HTML file for a particular frame.

The following syntax will create a frame:

<frameset cols="50%,50%">
<frame src="URL of an html file">
<frame src="URL of an html file">
</frameset>

Frames can be accessed by other frames by using the parent or top object.

For example:

top.framename
top.frames[framenumber]

parent.framename
parent.frames[framenumber]
