IFrames may still have their uses but frames are dead, along with spacer GIFs and the good old <font> tag.

AbPerhaps you'd like to explain how to include content from a different domain not using frames, every single one of my customers uses a property feed from different providers which they're supplied just a URL (disregarding iframes as you cannot dynamically size them to the content cross domain), you normally find the people that bang on about frames being bad etc are those that end up designing the absolute ugliest sites. |
I wouldn't know, I'm a developer not a designer - although I don't think nthellworld.co.uk looks too bad, especially in a browser like FF, Safari or Opera.
I think this would replace whichever content you're going on about though:
PHP Code:
<?php
if ((!empty($_GET['site']) || (isset($_GET['site'])) {
$site = $_GET['site'];
echo "<div id=\"$sitename\">";
include_once("http://$site/content/syndication/whatever.asp?variable=value");
echo '</div>';
}
?>
(Where $site is something like "www.example.com" and $sitename is a site title which gives you the <div> ID such as "microsoft")
And then you'd use CSS to resize or style the content of that <div> which could be specific to each site.
I can honestly say I've not used frames since I was learning HTML all those years ago and I've never found a need for them - there's always a better way around it.
