Today's
Web browsers allow site builders to divide the browser window into
two or more sections called frames. Each frame is filled with a
distinct Web page, and you can click on a link in one frame to load
pages into the other. This division-of-labor feature can improve
and simplify site navigation (by dedicating one frame to links that
lead to other areas of the site). And creative use of frames can
make for some interesting sites. However, there's a strong and vocal
anti-frame populace online, people who feel the benefits of frames
aren't worth the hassle: Older browsers can't do a thing with frames,
so you have to either build a separate site for people using these
browsers or force people to upgrade. Also, because the URL stays
the same as you navigate a framed site, bookmarking individual pages
can be tricky, so users charmed by an individual page on your site
may have some trouble getting back to it. Before you build your
next site, start by asking yourself whether it's really worth framing.
