Meta Refresh - this is a way of locking a visit into a site by making their back button not work. A meta refresh will automatically refresh the page a person is on when one tries to leave the site by pressing the back button. This makes it not possible to leave the site in this usual manner. The only way to leave a meta refresh site is to type in another url directly or go under your internet browser selecting view and then goto and selecting the previous page you were on. Sometimes by pressing the back button very rapidly you can get away too. Meta refreshes are not popular with internet users.

Frames and Noframes - frames are a way to create a website such that certain elements remain visible at all time. In essence you can combine multiple page elements together which remain on every page a person visits via frames to in theory create a more user friendly site experience.

No frames is the use of traditional html webpages that allow the exact html page to be bookmarked. Many sites that use frames have a frame or no frame option because a lot of people hate frames.
