Frameset hierarchies

When you are creating a complicated frameset, some planning should be used to avoid the replication of Web pages inside Web pages (as highlighted in the example in the disadvantages section). This section is dedicated to frame hierarchies and constructing a hierarchy to avoid the problem self replication.

Below is an example frameset hierarchy. Note that the JavaScript included at the bottom level indicates the commands necessary to load an HTML document into the respective.html frame.
