Advantages and Disadvantages of Frames  By dotnetwatch Rate It  | Review I've kept away from using frames in any of my work where possible. As much as I like some of the features that frames offer, such as a static header area and side menu bar, there is still a number of negative aspects to their use. The idea of changing a menu system on my sites by altering one page is a very attractive prospect, especially now that I'm am carrying out a behind-the-scenes revamp of Taming the Beast.net .

A More Accessible Pop-Up Window  By dotnetwatch Rate It  | Review More and more commercial websites are featuring pop-ups these days. In many instances, I'm noticing more pop-ups being used for advertising, probably due to the harsh reality that is "banner blindness".

Unfortunately, many designers know little about how to make a proper pop-up window that will be accessible.    Hits:78    Rate:  5.0(out of 5)    Vote:1   Submit Date :2007-03-13   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review
