On a technicality... Using frames, and other means, I can instruct your
browser to load someone else's page into a section of one of my pages. My
site however, has not displayed any information from the third party's
site. Your browser, providing it can and does follow frameset
instructions, did the retrieving and displaying. I only provided a link to
the third party's page and instructions on where to display the content.
