Questions I would have, given that you are looking for an alternative to <frameset>: (1) what about the problem recommends <frameset> as a solution in the first place?

Even if you do have to resort to some kind of monkey-business behind the scenes to get the behavior you need, that still does not change the semantics of a link, which is "clickable thing that loads content" (or appears to load content). If you didn't use <a>, it would have to be some other clickable thing: a form control or image map, which would probably make your document semantically more obscure. cheers, —ml— ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
