http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12775 Summary: Suggestion for html.next and iframes Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: mike@w3.org QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org public-html-comments posting from: "Marke Johnston" <Marke@omnibot.info> http://www.w3.org/mid/FC62CA8F1B1FA246B2DB9C427F3F3CB7B205@84slp71.AFRHLLC.local This seems the best mail list for the general public to make suggestions. I maintain one fairly simple commercial website I authored and designed. I have dabbled in html for over ten years. for my current rennovation, I did find iframes to be the best viewing solution; and struggle with the same bookmarking shortcomings that perpetuates the 'frames are evil' meme. Most specifically, I wish I could transmit via email links that would load my iframe containing page in a specific way. My suggestion: an additional identifying tag could be added to each A href that has a target= statement that extra tag would contain a short and unique (example 2 alpha digits) code identifying the link selected. as an example, any link that contains target="I1" would have also named="aa" where the alpha code is meant to be specific to each ahref & target combo on the page a different link on the same page would have target="I1" named="ab" for the second link... then browser specifications would be set to recognize codes and append them to the end of urls, much in the manner of asp pages with arguments passed to the server-- but read by the static browser-- and further, if links caused the iframe contents to change and names were set- the displayed address url would change to match so a website would initially be at a page of http://www.example.com/index.htm but if an end user selected a link (the first target link in my example) that put name AA in iframe I1-- the browser would load the subframe, and then automatically append to appropriate code to the url displayed http://www.example.com/index.htm?i1=aa or if I had two frames in the page, I might see http://www.example.com/index.htm?i1=aa?i2=ca then by whatever means necessary, I can distribute, bookmark, and rename frames and ensure the correct linking Browsers- when loading of such a bookmark, would interpret the html, searching for those unique names, and load the target frames as if they had been clicked. I have no dedication to my choice of names - I just want to send out links that will load the page as I wish it. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
