Yes. > What is the advantage, other than being able to place the frame where > I want? What I understood from your questions is that you were going to build the entire site using frames and have these external links open in the main frame. This is why I suggested using a dynamic frameset, because with this technique you can create the site using only flat pages and call the frameset *on the fly*, for these external links only. > I am thinking I will suggest that we just open the manufacturer's > site in a new window and have that pop-up in a specific location that > will allow the logo on the originating page to show on the top left > of the screen.

IMO, positioning the browser window is a bad idea. Not only because there is no way to know where it's gonna show up in relation to the opener, but also because you should not "play" with the user's window. > My design philosophy is really one in which I want to do the best job > for my clients.

Think of it that way: if you cannot dissuade your client of using frames and are ready to move away from the project, there is a good chance that your client will find another designer who will create his *entire site with frames*. At least now *you* know that using a dynamic frameset would be a better option ;-) Regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
