Example
While you have far easier ways to reach the document object of another frame
(parent.otherFrameName.document), the following statement takes the long way
to get there to retrieve the number of forms in the document of another frame:
var formCount = parent.document.all.contentsFrame.Document.forms.length
Using the Document property only truly makes sense when a function is passed a
FRAME or IFRAME element object reference as a parameter, and the script must,
among other things more related to those objects, access the document contained
by those elements.

Example
The default value for the frameBorder property is yes. You can use this setting
to create a toggle script (which, unfortunately, does not change the appearance in
IE). The W3C-compatible version looks like the following:
function toggleFrameScroll(frameID) {
var theFrame = document.getElementById(frameID)
if (theFrame.frameBorder == “yes”) {
theFrame.frameBorder = “no”
} else {
theFrame.frameBorder = “yes”
}
