Actually the last few versions of Lynx has frames capability of a sort (but 
no JavaScript).  The frames works like this:

In a GUI browser that has three frames like so

___________________
| frame 1   |  frame 2     |
|               |                  |
|               |__________|
|               | frame 3      |
|________|__________|

in Lynx each frame will be listed as a link, like so

frame 1
frame 2
frame 3

clicking on the links will then show you the content of that particular frame.

WebTV will render frames as a table.
