2.5. Frames

• Frames are a two-edged sword.
• Sometimes they help navigating and cross-referencing. A good example is the Netscape JavaScript Reference.
• On the other, frames are usually completely unnecessary.
• Putting a navigation bar as a table cell, or a div inside the HTML is usually more desirable than putting it in a separate frame.
• Use HTML target to open other documents in new windows.
• However, don't hide the navigation controls (unless you want to save space), or do pop-ups of any kind.
• They are highly annoying and can be overridden by most browsers so you should not depend on them anyhow.
