> As far as I know frames are not deprecated in the HTML 4.0 specification. > [DJW:] This has been discussed before. They are not explicitly labelled as deprecated, but they are not in the strict version and use of the transitional version is deprecated. There has been discussion of the politics behind not making the deprecation clear in the narrative part of the document, but at least one argument says that you can't deprecate something in a specification that was not in the previous specification. I.E. frames have never been part of a full specification; they have only every existed in the transitionial versions of HTML 4.00, 4.01 and XHTML 1.0.
