It also fits well into the >hierarchical order of the object model. <FRAME> and <FRAMESET> really >shouldn't be required if <IFRAME> is in the specification. I think IFRAME should be absorbed into OBJECT. They are really VERY similar, and you could add the appropriate attributes to the OBJECT element simply enough. IMHO it *is* just another way to include an external data object. True, with IFRAME you could use tables or CSS positioning to create a document with several frames and no FRAMESET/FRAME. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <http://www.livingston.com/> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588
