This discussion is becoming an absolute farce.
!: I changed the subject for a good reason. No one has taken any notice.
2: I am told there are no PDF files on my site. Strange, because, with one
exception, all the files on the help and advice page are PDF.
3: Do we know the difference between a PDF file and a web link? These are
two distinct things.
Let's take them one by one:
PDF files appear in a frame. There is a good reason for this. A PDF file is
part of the website. The PDF is displayed on the screen and people can
decide whether they want to download it, print it or just ignore it. When
they have finished a simple click takes them to another place on the site.
There is considerable evidence from the statistics that this type of
presentation is encouraging people to browse and look at things that they
probably would not look at otherwise.
Web links take you to another site. Because you are going to another site,
there are genuine grounds for criticism for the way I have done this and I
am quite happy to make a change. In fact the two YouTube clips do not open
in a frame because YouTube does not permit this.
I suspect that Ralf made a "slip of the tongue" in his original email and
that he meant to say web links. Easily done. But can the rest of us please
be careful in our terminology,
Best wishes,
Geoff
