Iframes give you the ability to split your web application into smaller pieces. With IE as well as FireFox you reach certain limits for what a single document canvas can handle. Especially IE because it still lacks a good garbage collector (currently implemented method is mark & sweep).
If you put all the components like dhtml menu's, dhtml treeview, dhtml listviews, as well as the data and the rest of your interface including several listeners, events, and stuff in only 1 window, you'll definitely cripple the browser. Now try this out with an interface separated into iframes, and notice the huge improvements in speed. A pitty for the networks department and their Tux dolls, but I care more about my customer satisfaction levels on using the web application. :) Micha Schopman Software Engineer Modern Media, Databankweg 12 M, 3821 AL Amersfoort Tel 033-4535377, Fax 033-4535388 KvK Amersfoort 39081679, Rabo 39.48.05.380 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:183706 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
