Since the subject of frames has come up again, anyone want to make
suggestions for the Elements Image Catalog site?
<http://partsref.home.att.net/>
It uses frames now. I can think of two straight-forward redesigns to get
rid of frames. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
1. Convert the side-by-side frames into a two-column table.
2. Turn the category links into a free-form list at the top of each page.
There's another reason I'm looking at the design of this site. WorldNet
has added site-search capabilities[1]. I'm thinking it would be a good
thing to generate element pages, so that visitors could do reasonable
text-searching. Mixing frames and search-results pages sounds like a Bad
Thing to me.
