The CSS layout draft lets you specify everything in an entire file, or grab content from other files for individual frames, depending on your needs or resources. > > Here are the major problems I have encountered with frames and my $0.02: > > 1) Not being able to bookmark the pages in the frame in an easy way. Yep. Unfortunately, even in this case I don't think the Layout draft will be much more helpful because from the start you can specify imported documents into frames, plus you can target certain frames for links changing frame content at any time. Personally, I think this is more of a "bookmarking" issue. Ideally, if a page has frames with multiple sources, it should keep track of every URL referenced when the bookmark is created. Maybe vendors will implement a smarter bookmarking system in the future. ----------------------- Christopher P.
