The HTML specifications already have the <noframes> element, which can be used to specify content that is to be rendered if and only if the document is presented without frames: "NOFRAMES may be used, for example, in a document that is the source of a frame and that uses the transitional DTD. This allows authors to explain the document's purpose in cases when it is viewed out of the frameset or with a user agent that doesn't support frames." http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#edef-NOFRAMES > For example, automatically display/hide context menus or warning messages > when a page gets hi-jacked into someone else's frameset. That might be useful, but if desired, it could be implemented simply by adding adequate support to the already define <noframes> element. It might be viewed as a presentational issue rather than content issue, admittedly. But then we might ask whether frames themselves are presentational and should be defined in CSS rather than HTML. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
