You are not paying attention.  I have marked the important part for you.

Sure you can.  My category filter in
<http://PointedEars.de/ufpdb/main.en> that does just this –

      function callDBfilter(filterID)
      {
        parent.frames['ufpdb_index'].setDBfilter(filterID);
        return false;
      }

– still works in all frame-DOM-supporting user agents.
May it have a Happy 14th Birthday!

Utter nonsense.  The MDN article is hopelessly incomplete and the
wannabe–troll has *still* no clue what he is talking about.

There is just a difference between a frame *name* and a frame *ID*.
