The Gods of Clear Communication must be angry with me.
As I mentioned in my original post, the Navigation is
a *Flash movie*, so while I'll certainly take your
advice under advisement for other elements of my site,
it doesn't help in this particular instance.
Take a look at http://www.sinistervisions.com -- when
you click through from page to page, the navigation
reloads (from the cache) each time, which is very
disruptive to the overall experience.
To: List -
It's been a while since I thought about frames or the
pros or cons; So long, in fact, that I've forgotten
what The Big Objection is to them?
What's the thinking regarding the use of iFrames?
At the risk of opening up a can of worms, I'd be
interested to hear opinions on the use of frames in a
website, while keeping the following in mind:
1] Yes, they can be horribly misused. I don't need
anybody to tell me that - if I use them, it will only
be as much as necessary, and I'll be referring to the
W3C for proper implementation.
2] If you don't like them just because you don't like
them... well, great, but that doesn't tell me
anything, so don't bother saying so unless you have
reasons I (or anybody besides you) might care about.
Soo... whaddya think?
Thanks!
Chad
