I've seen your earlier posts and I'm confused by your question. What do you mean by "doing it dynamically"? To my way of thinking, any template-based system (Velocity, JSP, Perl's HTML::Mason, ASP, Cold Fusion, Tango) is "dynamically" generating web pages. <anti-frames-rant> And any template system can replace frames in a much more development friendly manner. The only thing I've ever wanted to do that can be done with frames and not done with templates is creating fixed navigation elements and a scroll-able content frame. But the pain frames introduce has never been worth that feature, so I try to design without a need for scrolling. </anti-frames-rant> So now you know where I'm coming from. 8^) I don't understand what you mean by "doing it dynamically" nor do I understand what frames have to do with it. Please clear those things up and we'll see if I have anything useful to suggest. 8^) -Eric -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
