Frames are one thing I generally despise.
They:
- Make it impossible to link directly to one section of your site. Instead you link to the frameset page, and give instructions on what link to use.
- Are hard to code. You have to remember to name them, to target links, to put the right things in the right tags, and *alot* of attributes are necesary.
- Look ugly.
- Don`t work in auto scripters, either. They make hopeless mistakes that a raw coder never would...
- Make your site easy to navigate, because all your links are in one column and that is the same on each page. But then; that can be done with tables, too.
- Aren`t liked by alot of browsers.
- Follow an entirely different coding method. Frames and HTML are almost two different languages, so to switch from one to the other means relearning alot of things very differently.
HTML has more uses.
