The site was essentially a jump-station with a series of links. The
author used a frameset with three frames: one that ran all the way across the top
of the page, displaying a logo and other basic information; one narrow panel on
the left with a scrolling set of links to the sites themselves; and the main viewing
area, which took up two-thirds of the center screen. Selecting any of the links
caused the site to appear in the main viewing frame.
I was astounded when I finally realized that each frame was truly an independent
Web page and that you didn??™t have to use only Web pages on your own site??”
you could link to any page on the Internet. That was when I also realized the
amount of work involved in establishing a frame Web site: Every page displayed
on that site used multiple HTML pages.
Be aware that the use of frames is controversial. Designers opposed to their use
give a number of reasons. One argument is that dealing with frames often confuses
users, especially as they navigate through a site. Another reason cited by
designers is that search engines have difficulty indexing a frame-based site.
Nonetheless, frames are valid HTML, and Dreamweaver does support their use.
Although the technology enables you to include any page on the
Web within your own frameset, Internet etiquette and, in some
cases, copyright law dictate that you obtain permission to display another site??™s
pages within your own site and that you clearly credit work that is not your own.
