<ul>
 <li><code>frameList</code> is a list of frame objects. It is similar to an array in that it has a <code>length</code> property and its items can be accessed using the <code>[i]</code> notation.</li>
 <li><code>frameList === window</code> evaluates to true.</li>
 <li>Each item in the window.frames pseudo-array represents the <a class="internal" href="/en/DOM/window" title="en/DOM/window">window</a> object corresponding to the given <a class="internal" href="/en/HTML/Element/frame" title="en/HTML/Element/frame">&lt;frame&gt;</a>'s or <a class="internal" href="/en/HTML/Element/iframe" title="en/HTML/Element/iframe">&lt;iframe&gt;</a>'s content, not the (i)frame DOM element (i.e., <code>window.frames[0]</code> is the same thing as <code>document.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0].contentWindow</code>).</li>
