This code snippet loads the page mypage.htm into the frame (or window)
named "Main".
To reset the frameset, use target="_top" (or to exit the existing
frameset).
To got to the very first or parent frameset, use target="_parent".
This is the non-Java/JavaScript way to do it.
Of course, using Java/JavaScript, you would rely on the frame[n] array:
Example: onClick="parent.frames[1].frameTwoFunc()" where TwoFunc activates
in the frame parent.frames[1].
NOTE: Array counts start at zero (0) not 1. So, the frames array starts at
frame[0], frame[1], frame[2], ...frame[n] (and so on). (Frame names can
also be used in place of frame[n].)
