# Window: frames property



Returns the window itself, which is an array-like object, listing the direct sub-frames
of the current window.

## Value

A list of frame objects. It is similar to an
array in that it has a `length` property and its items can be accessed
using the `[i]` notation.

- `frames === window` evaluates to true.
- Each item in the `window.frames` pseudo-array represents the [Window](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window)
  object corresponding to the given [frame](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/frame)'s or
  [iframe](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe)'s content, not the `frame` or `iframe` DOM element (i.e.,
  `window.frames[0]` is the same thing as
  `document.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0].contentWindow`).

## Examples

```js
const frames = window.frames; // or const frames = window.parent.frames;
for (let i = 0; i < frames.length; i++) {
  // do something with each subframe as frames[i]
  frames[i].document.body.style.background = "red";
}
```
