Working with Frames
and Linked Windows
In the early days of the Web, two significant limitations of web browsers
were that they could only display one document in a browser window at a
time and that sites couldn’t open more browser windows if needed. The
Web has evolved to enable developers to combine web pages in browser
windows in all sorts of ways. Inline frames enable you to embed web
pages within other pages in the same way you would an image, and linked
windows enable you to create links that open pages in new browser win-
dows. These tools offer a lot of power, but improper usage can make your
sites far less usable. It’s important to learn not only how to use them, but
when to use them. You’ll learn all about the following topics:

n How to work with linked windows
