Hello,
Maybe this is just local. I recall a book-seller telling me she had
stocked up on java books before she came to a local convention (mid-
south) as she sold many of those in St. Louis. Nope. She said older
books were selling well.
I thought frames had been relegated to what they were good at (and I
think there are a lot of good uses for them).
But now I find my "superiors" doing everything with frames. It seems
like frame city. Everytime I turn around something is getting done
with frames. I don't understand. I have a suspicion that the wysiwyg
has suddenly gotten better at doing frames (not that it was ever hard
but if you never knew html or weren't good at thinking a few moves
ahead then I guess it was).
Are designers out there going back to frames? And I am talking about
for the whole site where the nav bar is in a frame on the left-hand
side.
I can tell you from some experience that I submitted a framed site to
all the top engines (at least 10 of them) and to yahoo. We are
getting a lot of hits from yahoo the directory but very little from
the search engines. I myself inserted meta tags throughout the site
(after the whole thing had been developed - I wrote a script to do
it) because I felt it was imperative. But, a month after submitting
to search engines we are getting no hits from them. Is it the
frames? Is it too early? Hard to tell.
BTW, I submitted to yahoo a few times. I even called and they did
respond. But my submittal did not enter their database yet I
received no errors when submitting the site. After they called I
submited the site again and it was taken (not in all the categories I
wanted but it was taken).
