With all this talk of frames in the Cougar DTD, I wonder if it would be out of place to make a public plea to the authors of frames capable browsers to add in the feature of letting people disable frames if they don't like them? Something like Netscape's disable Java and JavaScript controls in Navigator 3.01. Pretty please? I've switched from X Mosaic to Netscape for my GUI browser needs and I find having frames more of a pain than not having them - they clutter up my browser's window and I still end up looking at the frames document source half the time for the "real page" to jump to. I know I'm not alone in hating frames, so this could be a big winner for the vendors, and might just encourage more information providers to use NOFRAMES to provide decent information for the frameless browsers.
