Hey there Ed - and everyone else who chimed in on this. I REALLY Appreciate everyones input.
I didn't realize those other drawbacks to Frames. So - I will DEFINITELY NOT use Frames in my approach. Since I will build code within VFP that will generate the pages - and I can have a single chunk of code that might define the Top of the webpage, menu, and bottom of webpage - then the main content is generated differently - I think it will kind of work along the lines of Templates. But, I will as you suggested - generate each and every webpage. As I work on this - I will also be referring back to the Gallery as it currently exists - and grab up some of that HTML and re-implement in my program. And, I will also probably use Tables for the general layout.

If your bandwidth is so limited that you can only send part of a page, a better choice for a post-1997 world would be to use AJAX. Frames are so anti-web, whose design requires that a URL be able to locate a particular page. With frames, one URL defines the entire framed site, which makes bookmarking, linking, etc., impossible. With templates, the entire page is sent each time. The efficiency comes on the design end, where the look and feel needs only be designed and implemented once. Later, if a design change is needed, only one file needs to be modified. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a1409df1...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
