I don't agree with that assessment. You should view that page with a

Not a very pleasing look.

Make the lower right "frame" a div element with absolute positioning and
the rest of your "frames" can be made part of the page itself. One
document, no frames. It even solves your JS issue because then you have
no frames to try to communicate across.

Part of my last reply, that you snipped, included this:

And in that page, try to explain, simply, what you are trying to do.

that's bad news. back to the drawing board. i haven't used <div>
before. i am using html because photoshop creates the file for me. i
just have to tweak it, add scripts, etc.
`div' *is* a proper standardized HTML element type since HTML 4.01.
Who said it wasn't? The OP clearly said he hadn't used it before. Nothing more, nothing less. Especially not that it wasn't part of HTML.

I understood the OP's emphasizing that they are "using HTML because ..." in
relation to "I haven't used <div> before" as their saying that `div' was not
part of HTML.

I have read that post 4 times now and honestly can't see how you can interpret it that way.

and to make the page look a lively a bit, i was going to have an icon
displayed in the frame that i cannot access.
You don't need frames for that. Probably you don't even need client-side
scripting; :hover could suffice.

Yeah, we all know how well supported :hover is on images in the most predominant browser on the web. Makes it pretty useless.

You are missing the fact that these are graphical links.

Has nothing to do with whether it is a "graphical link" or not. Telling someone to use something that is not supports in the most predominant browser on the web is a wasted effort. It is almost as bad as telling someone to use an IE-only feature.
