I'm currently removing the frames from my work's site for similar reasons, but mainly that when someone clicks a link from a search engine, they get the content frame, but not the navigation bar. Also, we have information kiosks accessible to the public, and (for some unknown reason) the suppliers have disabled frames. Also, I still come across some platforms where frames are barely supported.

Not only are they problematical from a UI perspective, they're now passe. See <URL: http://www.python.org/ > or <URL: http://www.freebsd.org/ > for a more modern design. Of course, pages that put everything in a table to do layout load slow and tend to come out ugly on anything that isn't pretty much a clone of the designers system, but they beat frames hollow. <mike On Fri, 9 Apr 1999, Oliver Andrich wrote: > Date: Fri, 9 Apr 1999 09:44:19 +0200 > From: Oliver Andrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Vince Vielhaber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Webpages Online > > Hi, > > ok I am new to PostgreSQL and my mirror of the PostgreSQL pages is quite new, > but I have to comment on this webpage design.
