Just wanted to share my hatred for FRAMES and that no one at all should use them, heck wipe it from your memory, they rarely do good ^_^;

Yepp. A splendid example on how everything with HTML get abused if it's possible. The worst is personal and/or unprofessional sites where the webmaster isn't smart enough to fix appropriate navigation. The horrors of hitting back button, back button, back button... gaaaah! Probably they have disabled the scroll bars too, and never checked if the site works in low resolution. And when you get to page15.html from a search engine and they haven't provided a link back to the fameset...

There are occasions when they work though. Maybe a penalty for using them when they don't add something

yeah, frames suck

but....

there are times when they do work really well and if you work with their limitations you can do magic things. :cool:

most people just go frames they're cool put some in and end up with a really crappy site that no-one can use :mad: :mad: :mad:

else you have to write a framset for each combination of frames just do a php script to write them on the fly :) I know you just love php ;)
