    what does everyone has against pages with frames in? the way i see it, frames prevent sections of pages - like a menu - from being loaded more than once since it appears on all the pages. or is this invalid?

      It is quite valid, especially if the menu items are dynamic due to database queries for rights, content, etc. The big issue that people have with frames is the scrolling. So, if you use frames, make sure that they are as small as possible, so that the main content frame is maximized, helping reduce the amount of scrolling required.  onwards and upwards...

        In addition, most search egine robots stop at FRAMESET pages and do not sunbscribe the other pages... The robots seem to follow A tag links only... not all of them but a few work this way... Would you like only your home page or all web pages of your web site to be subscribed in search engines? |---------------| | theJazzyBrain  | |---------------|

          ohh... and I forgot to mention BOOKMARKING AND PRINTING problems? Which frame to print? which frame to bookmark? What if the user wants to print all frames? |---------------| | theJazzyBrain  | |---------------|

                  Ever tried using ? Its a floating frame, which you can put in your existing html page, pretty cool and you can tweak around with it a lot. cheers :) Written on a gravestone: Hear lies a father of 29. He could have had more but he didn't have the time!
