Topics that are displayed in the frames are the frame source topics. You can use framesets as regular HTML topics. You can have multiple frames in a frameset.

About frames and framesets
Design framesets to customize navigation:
Frames
Divide the viewer into separate regions for separate topics.
Framesets
Allow some topics to change while topics in another frame remain stationary.
The frameset tells the viewer how to display the frames and which topics to display inside each frame. Topics that are
displayed in the frames are the frame source topics. You can use framesets as regular HTML topics.
You can have multiple frames in a frameset. Because screen space determines how many frames are practical, too many
frames give the viewer a cluttered look. Sometimes only parts of words appear inside each frame. Numerous frames
cause increased load times.
