Re: frames

Hello All,

 I'm amazed! I joined the Theory list a few weeks ago and was wondering 
why I did not get any posts. Well, when I got this post I figured since 
this is the first note that I know of. So fiigured I should reply!

 Assuming that this is because the list is quiet, can I ask you all 
about the philosophy you hold about frames? If using frames, has the 
time come to ignore people who use non-frame browsers, or are there 
still a substantial number to cater for? What are your views?

 I think there are very few no-frames browsers left out there. It's very 
easy to acquire a "newer" browser such as Netscape, IE or Opera. When I 
create a site with frames I don't really take into account the fact that 
the person viewing the site has a non-frames browsers as Spry or Lynx 
etc... I'm more concerned with HTML versions. I tend to create my sites 
with the idea that a person has a HTML 2.0 or 3.2 compatible browser... 
Save lot's of headaches!! 

 If you are concerned about people who cannot view frames you could 
offer text files instead. Most of the old version browser can only 
display HTML based text anyway, so why not save yourself the trouble of 
creating a whole new site when you can just offer download-able text 
files.
