Chapter 2 ✦ Window and Frame Objects (Chapter 16)
If you need to create a new window for the lowest common denominator of
scriptable browser, you will have to omit the focus() method and the
window.closed property from the script (as well as add the NN2 bug workaround
described earlier). Or you may prefer to forego a subwindow for all browsers below
a certain level. See Listing 16-3 (in the window.closed property discussion) for
other ideas about cross-browser authoring for subwindows.

of the Bill of Rights into the bottom frame.
Listing 16-27: Print Frameset
window.print() method
Two buttons in the top control panel (Listing 16-28) let you print the whole
frameset (in those browsers and OSs that support it) or just the lower frame. To
print the entire frameset, the reference includes the parent window; to print the
lower frame, the reference is directed at the parent.display frame.
