Hi,
I'm kind of new in using Javascript and wonder what are the pro's and
con's for using frames as a means to navigate and/of split the 'screen'
in a functional way? And are there alternatives?
Thanks!
Frames Pro:
1. Anything static can be visible all the time, e.g., navigation,
company logos, banner, etc.
Frames Con:
1. Search engines may not be able to properly spider a framed site.
2. Bookmarking a page generally don't work. (but there are
workarounds)
3. Not all browsers support frames (not sure how true this is anymore)
4. Sometimes, you also need to make a non-framed version, thus raising
maintenance
Alternative:
1. You can use <iframe>.
