John, Nick, Cameron..
thanks for your confidence in me! It looks, from Cameron's example, like
SSIs would be simple enough to do. The reasons for rejecting a SSI
solution were something to do with the client not wanting to *have* to have
a web server available (i.e., needing the ability to deliver it on CD for
example).
(I might well be misquoting or misunderstanding him... he's a good guy,
really!) He actually said that if he was *only* going to have the content
on a web server, he would agree to php/ ssi etc. .. but..............
I'll have to accept the Frames idea as a non-negotiable requirement . (The
site is being deployed to support a *very* small number (<10) of people
with a specific job role within a single team, inside a firewall, so
search engine/ accessibility etc argument didn't wash). Believe me, *I'm*
convinced that a non-frames site standards-based site (my original site,
don't forget) is better, but I'm just not in a position to argue any more
on this one.
SO... I'm going to keep it as clean & simple as I can, and will use the
XHTML 1 frameset dtd to validate against. (And then I'll learn some php /
ssi skills so I 'll be ready for next time! )
thanks very much for your interest guys...! What a great list..
(looking forward to meeting some of you at WE04 next week)
Regards,
Daniela Meleo
