<noframes> </noframes> sandwiches HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) to render the page if the browser does or will not support frames.
<base target="someFrame" href="http://mindprod.com/x.html">   In a menu frame document, one of the "tiles". allows one frame to load documents into another named frame for following HREFs. The HREF provide a default base for any relative hrefs coming. You can also use the magic names _blank, _self, _parent and _top as your frame target. See below for details.
<a href="xxx.html" target="someFrame">   Base is unchanged. Most browsers let you leave out the <BASE HREF, which allows code to work both locally and on a website, though strictly speaking the href is mandatory.
Frame Targets
Target description
_blank in a new, unnamed window.
charlie into the frame named charlie.
_parent into parent frame (or this frame if no parent).
_self in this frame.
_top into the full, original window (thus cancelling all other frames). This is how you get rid of all frames.
