This object encapsulates the top level frame-set in a multi-paned window. You need to be a little bit cunning to access the object for the FRAMESET because normally you are running a script that lives inside one of its frames.
Logically, you might assume that a FRAMESET object has a property with a list of frames contained within it. Actually, you can navigate the hierarchy but it's via the usual DOM properties such as childNodes and firstChild etc.
The FRAMESET object can be a useful way of maintaining session state. Although it is only present in the MSIE browser, the Netscape browser can accomplish the same session store techniques with the global object that belongs to the document containing the frame-set.
