I recently had a client who just HAD to have the left navigation visible at all times. They thought the only way to do it would be frames, but I managed to steer them clear of frames by implementing one of those annoying little javascripts that makes the navigation float up and down with the page if it scrolls... This helped us to avoid a myriad of backend issues that frames would have caused :) Thankfully the client had a 5+ browser support ethos which made things a bit easier...
FRAMES DENIED -----Original Message----- From: Gary Menzel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:42 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: iframes downsides? (was: my first cf page) > Sounds like a perfect candidate. I was about to post...... ...but agree with Mark. You know what your environment is, you know how it will be used, therefore IFRAMEs should be not an issue. BUT - for all the newbies out there - Make sure you really really really (and did I say REALLY) know what you are doing before you decide to use any type of frames. Get plenty of advice, ask people on lists like this one, etc. etc. Then you can know if you are doing the right thing before everyone comes back and screams at you. The current ABN AMRO Morgans site was done using FRAMESET (it's changing soon, trust me) and it has caused no end of problems - especially with security and sessions across frames. DONT just use frames because it seems like an easy way out or because someone said "make the menu stay on the screen". These are BAD reasons to use frames. Darren's reasons are good ones.
