Frames

A frames page is a special kind of HTML page that divides the browser window into different areas called frames, each of which can display a different page.

A frames page itself contains no visible content, it is just a container that specifies which other pages to display and how to display them. When you click a hyperlink on a page displayed in one frame, the page pointed to by that hyperlink typically is displayed in another frame, called the target frame.
