One simple and easy way to make usage of frames easier and more consistent (as they are currently proposed) is to allow the NAME attribute not only to indivudual frames but to FRAMESETs as well. This will remedy the problem that it is not possible to refer to two adjoining frames at once without referring to another document containing a frameset loading the individual frames. Ie, instead of using the following construct with two documents: [index.html] <FRAMESET ROWS="*,*"> <FRAME NAME=UP SRC=up.html> <FRAME NAME=DOWN SRC=down.html> </FRAMESET> [up.html] <FRAMESET COLS="*,*"> <FRAME NAME=LEFT SRC=left.html> <FRAME NAME=RIGHT src=right.html> </FRAMESET> could the following singledocument structure be used: <FRAMESET ROWS="*,*"> <FRAMESET NAME=up COLS="*,*"> <FRAME NAME=LEFT SRC=left.html> <FRAME NAME=RIGHT src=right.html> </FRAMESET> <FRAME NAME=DOWN SRC=down.html> </FRAMESET> Sincerely Karl-Johan Norén k-j-nore@dsv.su.seReceived on Friday, 2 May 1997 10:51:29 GMT
