What is “framing”?
Framing allows a page to be parceled into multiple, scrolled “windows” that are independent of each other and can include text, graphics, hypertext links, IMG links and other embedded links. These frames, unlike HREF or IMG links, may import entire remote Web sites. The URL displayed in the browser remains that of the framing site and not the remote site being imported. Thorny legal disputes have emerged when the imported site is surrounded, juxtaposed or framed by another’s advertising, logos or promotional material.
Framing is a very important component of building a good house. The framing must be done in a manner that supports the house and protects against the elements. There are now a variety of framing materials and systems available in today’s building industry. Exterior walls are constructed with 2 x 6 KD lumber allowing for higher insulation value to provide against heat loss during the winter, and maintain coolness in the summer. Good framing protects the house and gives structural integrity to the building.
