Just a quick little open letter to the web community. When someone posts a question about having a problem with Framesets in HTML, don't read the first six words of their question (which usually is 'I have a page with frames...') and reply that using frames is bad, that only stupid people with stupid designs use frames, and that they need to convert to using DIV tags and CSS and innerHTML and JavaScript or whatever.
Sometimes
WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE ARCHITECTURE WE ARE GIVEN.
The world isn't perfect. There are people right now in Burma building pages with FrontPage on 486's, using HTML tables for alignment. Not saying that most of us work in those conditions, but replacing the ENTIRE system with a different design isn't always an option when you have one tiny little problem that needs to be fixed yesterday.
So, instead of insulting the person who needs help to fix the steaming pile of *s* that they have to work on, just offer some helpful advice on how to solve the problem they asked.
M'kay? Thanks.
