Frames

Frames are another example of a Netscape extension, but with architectural flaws:



• Bundles user interface information with document content (cf. style sheets)
• Lack of control by end user
• Not liked by many users (e.g. users of low resolution PCs, PDAs, …)
• Not possible to distinguish between documents with and without frames

Note that W3C propose implementation of frames using style sheets - see http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/NOTE-layout.html
