<br>
<br>
&gt; &gt; Could someone please tell me which of the older browsers
don't<br>
&gt; &gt; support frames? I'm trying to talk a client out of using them
and I<br>
&gt; &gt; need some stats.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Too many to mention, many early browsers were incapable.&nbsp; The
real problem<br>
&gt; is with search engine spidering of the website.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Besides making the website a lot more confusing to manage and
raising his<br>
&gt; costs, he needs to know that some search engines cannot and will not
index<br>
&gt; or spider this websight.&nbsp; See
<a href="http://www.laisha.com/excite.html%A0" eudora="autourl">http://www.laisha.com/excite.html
</a> for<br>
&gt; background.&nbsp;&nbsp; Excite &amp; Lycos will not index
frames.&nbsp; Infoseek has trouble<br>
&gt; with frames.&nbsp; There are probably more.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; When we first built our main website, we used frames and had a
dickens of<br>
a<br>
&gt; time getting it registered.&nbsp; I found mention of the frames
problem and<br>
&gt; converted the website to non-frame and we started showing up
almost<br>
&gt; immediatly.&nbsp; Our personal experience shows this is not a myth,
we proved<br>
it.<br>
