FRAMEs are tricky in nature; it is advisable to avoid them. But in many scenarios you have no other choices but to deal with it. Here are some useful tips while handling a FRAME.
Creating a frameset
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple frames</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="250,*">
<frame name="frmLeft" src="LeftPage.htm" />
<frame name="frmRight" src="RightPage.htm" />
</frameset>
</html>
Refreshing one frame using JavaScript
parent.frames['frameName'].location.reload();
Replacing a specific frame using JavaScript
document.forms[0].target='_top';
Here index 0 indicates the first frame.
