Question? Quote from HTML 4.0 draft; >The IFRAME element allows authors to insert a frame within a block of text. Inserting >an inline frame within a section of text is >much like inserting an object via the OBJECT element: they both allow you to insert >an HTML document in the middle of another, >they may both be aligned with surrounding text, etc. >The members of the W3C HTML working group feel that APPLET is a >special case of the more general OBJECT tag, dedicated to one >media type - Java. The suggestion is that APPLET be phased out >in favor of OBJECT over a period of time. If/when that occurs >APPLET may then be obsoleted in future versions of HTML. IMG on >the other hand seems so firmly entrenched that it will stay around >for a long long time and can be considered as a sugared syntax >for OBJECT for use with images. Why have IFRAME then? Why not just use OBJECT? ---------------------------------------------- }:-o Regards /Hass ---------------------------------------------- 08 - 63 93 644 (Work) 08 - 99 74 39 (Home) 070 - 66 46 180 (Mobile) http://hass.home.ml.org hass@bigfoot.com ---------------------------------------------- "I may not agree with what you say but I will fight until I die for your right to say it." - Voltaire (A very clever man)
