[CMS-Forum] no frames |S| |S|

[Michael B. Murdock]

Good point Pete,

I missed that one...

The only problem with using some of the more advanced CSS features is that they need to be tested in the major browsers (IE, Mozilla, ForeBird a.k.a. FireFox, Safari, Opera) and older versions also to make sure that the CSS works and that if the browser does not support the feature that it does not "break" the site. We have seen numerous cases where partial CSS implementations or differing implementations cause side effects that can make the site look really bad.

Do not assume just because it looks good in your browser it will look the same in all the others.... test it to be sure.

Best regards,

Most all users are used to having to scroll back to the top to get at the menu on a non-framed site and having the frame doesn't make a significant difference (IMHO) to the ease of use for the end user.

And by using CSS, this isn't even an issue, as you can anchor the menu 
or header in place while the rest of the page scrolls...
