Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Problems with frames?

[PerfCircles]

I have heard that frames cause major problems when a website is an include through another site because all the frames will have to be included, as opposed to just one file.

What are your thoughts on this? Is this a valid problem? Is it insurmountable or is it fixable?

This should go in an HTML forum .

Say the frames page was http://www.acunett.com/frame.html

You wouldn't call that page.... A framed page is made up of multiple pages set into a frame. If the actual page you wanted to call was in the middle, then you would look at the source and see what the name of that page is

http://www.acunett.com/middleframe.html for example.

Hope this helps.

Hey! I tried finding a good HTML forum, but the only one I found was htmlforum.com and the most users it ever had was 74.

Any suggestions?

Hi!
Frames do have some problems.. The major ones I feel are -
1) Search engines do not accept it well.
2) The reading area is reduced.

The good side is that it is easy to develop and maintain....

Have a great day
