The documentation does not use frames; the layout is achieved with CSS only. The accessibility issue you mention is one primary motivation behind this.
ah. the full height float on the left was irritating me.
The problem of getting the layout working well with various screen resolutions is a known issue (it's under `CSS Issues'): http://wiki.kainhofer.com/lilypond/texi2html_issues Do you have any ideas for a documentation layout for small resolution displays (e.g. mobile devices)?
i can think of a few possibilities. one would be to have the menu displayed at the bottom of the page, the same way it's displayed in text browsers – however accessing the menu would then require you to scroll all the way down; painful with long pages. the main problem i was having is with mobile safari not liking multiple scroll elements on a single page. another idea (which i'd have to play around with) would be to create a "mobile" version of the docs with the menu structure acting in a drill-down like way and accessing single documentation pages that way. (yes, i admit, i'm an iphone user). such a menu structure will probably also work for other mobile devices and browsers.
usage scenario: on the train, no internet connection except on the smartphone and hacking lilypond files after forgetting to download the pdf docs before leaving.
is there any way i can get hold of the sources for the documentation? i hope to get time this week to have a look at texinfo, then i'll see what i can come up with – if that's ok with the documentation ppl.
