Hello, I work for a web development company in Northern Indiana, USA. I have worked very hard to fight for standard compliance and ensuring compatibility across many platforms in my field, and I have defended it to many of my colleagues. A question that has been stirring in mind for a while now is: Why was the inner frame removed from the specification? I understand that with creative CSS techniques or with a different doctype I could get away with it, but I am a bit of a purist. A standard is a standard to me, but nobody can tell me /why/ it was deprecated. I have to wait until XHTML2 before any alternatives pop up. In many of my applications, I find it desirable to use them in complex forms. For instance, I might use one for file uploads. I might require a user to upload a series of files before creating a record. This allows users to upload multiple files without waiting for a single form to be uploaded just to return in failure. This effect /cannot /be reproduced without a second document, and using a frameset doesn't make sense for an embedded frame. I need a good reason to not use them or at least a suggestion on stated problem. -- Thanks, Mike Shelton Digital Hill Multimedia, Inc.
