Couldn't agree more with Craig. Unfortanately, the only thing that is
difficult is posting a big message that explains the site is a web
application. I don't think most of our users even know what a web site is!
;) This is especially difficult for b2b sites because they want to maintain
a level of professionalism that doesn't make the user feel like an idiot.
I use frames as well. This way, the URL only shows the main url to the site.
However, the one problem I haven't overcome yet..is if they right click on a
static link and open it up in to a new window. That unfortanately bypasses
the index.jsp page that sets up the frame, and thus they are able to
navigate without that.
Craig..any ideas?
