Legal Terms

framing

The act of displaying another company's web page within a bordered area of a website -- similar to the "picture-in-picture" feature offered on some televisions. For example, when a user enters a search engine request, the search engine might display the contents of an online store within the search engine's website, framed by the search engine's text and logos. When a web page is framed within another website, the URL or domain name of the framed web page is not displayed and users are not able to bookmark that site.
