Hi. Anyone here use FrontPage? I've been thinking of using Frontpage to
take my web site, www.dennisallen.com, and go frameless. Since I have a
left framed frame.htm with lots of javascipt code, is this a good idea?
I could use FP insert/components/web page to add my frame.htm page to all
other pages. But frame.htm has lots of javascript functions in the header,
and needs onload= to start them. I suppose I could move my <script> code
into the <body>. What are the advantages/disadvantages of <head> script
code as opposed to <body> script code?
Side question. Many of my pages have external <script src="temp.js"> calls.
In fact, a couple of pages I have to create a <body onload="xload() "> in
which xload() checks to make sure all the temp.js functions are loaded
before proceeding. Now it seems to me that the FP insert/component/page
could bypass this need altogether, but insert/component/page only asks for
*.htm files. What, do I want to convert my *.js files to *.htm files,
wraping <html><body><sc ript></script></body></html> around them?
Any advice is appreciated...D ennis 9  1458

No I don't use FP, never will. But yes, its always a good idea to go
frameless and lose the problems frames introduce.

Depends on your perspective. Where they need to be depends on the
script. It has been recommended here in this groups to put as much
script as you can at the end of the page, so that the beginning of the
page displays quicker. If you are calling a function, as the page loads,
then obviously that function has to be defined before you can call it,
thus it needs to be loaded prior to that.

Wrap them only in <script type="text/javascript"></script> tags. The
rest are not needed and will cause your pages to be invalid HTML files
(not that I think FP can produce valid HTML to start with).

I dont know about FP, but is that insert/component/page not simply creating
an IFRAME (which is still a frame)? Have you looked at the HTML that comes
out?
Silvio Bierman
No, it's not a frame. Say I insert a header.htm component into every page
of my site. The <body> portion of header.htm is physically inserted into
every page. If you modify header.htm in FP, however, the changes will also
show up everywhere.

Well, the functions I have wouldn't start until launched with a <body

Don't call it as a .js file, take each of your .js files and add the
opening script tag at the beginning, the closing script tag at the end,
so that they look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
//contents of .js file here
</script>
Save it with an .htm extension.
Then have FP include it. When it does that, it becomes part of the html
document sent to the browser:
some page stuff here
<script.....>
</script>
more page stuff here.
The easiest way to see this is to test it by making the template,
include the .htm file, then view what the browser gets.

OK, got it. Strange way of dealing with HTML. It will lead to such messy
issues you are confronted with. A complete HTML page can not be inserted
transparently inside another HTML page. Simple HTML fragments could but
these would then be designed with embedding in various pages in mind.

It depends how you intend to replace it. You could probably migrate to a
CSS-based menu system where it provides the positioning in place of the
frame. The W3C uses such a system, however they don't use JavaScript with
it.

My impression[1] is that scripts placed in the head of the document are
loaded and parsed before the body is rendered. That would guarantee the
availability of the script to the rest of the document. However, there is
no mention in the HTML specification of how scheduling should be
implemented. I wouldn't know where to look in the RFCs for relevant

results (RFC archives)).

If 'my impression' above is correct, then there is no need. Just place the
SCRIPT elements in the head of the document. If it isn't, select the code
and paste it into SCRIPT elements.
As a matter of principle, please remove the "Valid HTML 4.01" logo from
your site. You have not met the requirements, so you don't have the cause,
or the right, to claim otherwise.
