Synopsis
NAME=”elementIdentifier"
Optional
When links and forms must load their destination or returned
documents into frames other than the one holding the link or form,
those elements have TARGET
attributes indicating
which frame receives the new content. To direct such content to a
frame, the frame must have a value assigned to its
NAME
attribute. That same value is assigned to the
TARGET
attribute of the A
or
FORM
element. Client-side scripting also uses the
frame’s name in building references to other frames or content
in other frames. It is good practice to assign a unique identifying
name to all frames.
Example
<FRAME NAME="navbar" SRC="nav.html">
Value
Case-sensitive identifier.
Default
None.
