To frame or not to frame?
Hi all,
Normally do you build your web apps using frames? I'm having several troubles using firefox, its behaviour presents many differences.. it does not accept resizing, borders etc
thanks

It is probably a personal thing with frames. Personally I think they are nasty. They cause more problems than they solve. They do not meet accessibility standards. The improvements on caching with ASP.NET allow for very fast returns by caching user controls that you might normally keep in a frame, such as menu/navigation.

That's an easy one. Not to. It means ugly Javascript solutions, problems with your server script, you don't know which server side page/frame will be loaded first, which can lead to bizarre behaviour, and I could go on.
Frames are very ugly indeed. And it is so 1993....
Name me one big successful website that uses frames.

I second your recommendation. Frames make everything harder. If we are creating a site with static HTML pages, frames are helpful because they allow us to separate the site's navigation into a single page. But if we are creating a site with dynamic ASP.NET pages, we have much better ways of separating parts of the page. Put another way, frames introduce a whole bunch of problems, yet introduce few benefits.
I agree: do not not frames.

Frames or NO frames.
Hi, sorry probably a topic discussed at lengths somewhere but I was wondering. If I have a ASP.NET c# web application that contains the traditional header, left navigation bit and content to the right, is there any compelling reason for me not to use frames? I realise one issue may be browser compatability but how many browsers these days don't support frames. If it helps, I am writing an intranet application rather than a full internet app so I don't see browser type too much of an issue. Thanks for your comments.

To frame or not to frame
Hi, I was having troubles with framing my website using visual web developer 2008 and so was looking around on this forum. It was surprising to see many negative comments about frames and to find out that XHTML doesnt even support frames. Now Im leaning towards not using frames. I want to have 3 different sections of my website: A header with my company name A side section where I can put links and maybe put advertisements later on (graphics) A main section where all the real stuff shows up The problem is that Visaul Web developer doesnt support that kind o...
To frame or not to frame...
I know this is probably a matter of opinion...but if you have an application that is using large datasets that can not be cached, does it make sense to use frames on your site to save some processing of other database driven menus, and whatnot?? Does this cause a headache if you are dealing with an application that requires user authentication, since you have to now check on serval pages for authorization? Maybe an IFrame for content is better? Just one of those questions that has been bugging me. thanks... I would not use frames. I would instead use fragment caching, that is, cre...
frame or no frame
I've read through quite a bit of opinions, but without a definate answer. I'm writing a page in asp.net 2.0 and it includes a seperate page hosted on a seperate domain. I was going to just throw it in a frame and call it good, but I'm reading that that is not such a good idea. Anyone have a simple way to do this, I'd like to use the master page for the site and just have an area that is framed. Sorry if I am missing something obvious, I tend to do that lately. You have two ways to do it. If you own the second domain, or can ask the owner nicely, set up t...

modifying a frame inside a frame
Hi, All, 1) I have a frame (F1) that has a TPopupMenu (PM) with no menu items at all. The only reason PM is declared in F1 is that PM is popped up by F1 manually (after simulating a left click, and then a right click on a TListBox to select the item under the mouse cursor). Components that use F1 are supposed to add menu items to PM themselves. 2) I drop F1 on another frame (F2). 3) I double-click on PM, add a menuitem to it, name it, and close the menu editor. 4) I click once on PM in the frame editor just to be presented with this error message: "List index out o...
