Thank you for saying that, Elizabeth, couldn't agree more about both
frames and Flash...

I strongly recommend customers against fully-flash sites due to the
inconsistent (compared to web conventions), usually non-spiderable, and
inaccessible navigation, but agree it can be useful for specific
web-apps (wrapped in suitable HTML navigation, etc.) and some nice
branding-related effects... but generally, Flash is overused when HTML +
CSS with a sprinkling of Javascript could do the job better and in
accordance with web standards.

Regards,

Dave
