I may well need to do a full framed site and wondered if there's anything i should know about using a frameset doctype....??

I might try to do an iframe, but if it has to be a 'proper' framed site, will it make any difference in approach ??

I usually use Transitional for flat pages, but don't really even know why that is......(better degredation ?)

Any top tips ??

In the interests of the site's potential users, what is the reason that the site 'needs' to be done using frames?

[weldo]

Just that the client likes the way that certain framed sites work, and has an existing 'test' site that he's already sketched out in his head....

It's a 4 frame site - top, left and bottom frames...with a content frame that stretches to fill the screen....

Does that make sense ?? I'm afraid Idon't have a link, but can possibly find a similar thing if i look around for a while...


I should add that I showed him a few framed sites as possible approaches ages ago, and now i wish i hadn't .....

its up to you to educate your clients and make sure you do it properly in the first place.

make sure you tell him that you'll have issues when it comes to seo b'cos of the frameset.

tell him frames will screw his serps he'll come round.

edit. too slow.

[weldo]

you think I haven't already suggested these things ???

Some people just want what they want, and if I don't give it to them, they'll find someone who will....ain't that the truth -- just ask my ex !!

And besides, we're always learning stuff aren't we ???

I find the next project is always better than the last....but as there is a frameset xhtml type i just thought I'd see if anyone has had experience i could draw from ???

for a moment i thought 'Mik' was one of those txt style abbreviations...like 'lol' or 'imho' but she's a real person isn't she (at least i hope she is a she)

That's just cos he/she/it makes a mean leek quiche.

[weldo]

[Stickman]

Don't use frames is my answer. Doubt you'll want to hear that again though...
