That advice comes three days late. But thanks!

When I put the thing up, (tomorrow?) I'll ask how I could have pulled something off without frames. Specifically, I have a menu on the right half of the screen, and when you click a menu item, it swaps out the pictures and text on the left half of the screen. Also, I have a navigation bar on the left hand side at all times and a title bar on top (also at all times). How could tables handle that w/o reloading the whole damn thing (including 300+k of images) with every mouseclick?

Seriously. It's not too late to bring me back from the brink if I'm doing this completely wrong.


The nav images don't have to reload because they're already sitting in the browser cache from when they were first displayed. Frames only reduce the html load time. You also might get sued for using them.

Gondor has no frames; Gondor needs no frames.


Sued for using them? I'm assuming that's a joke. Right? (I didn't steal this code from someone else, if that's what you're thinking.)

Is there a way to assign names to table cells so that I can send data to particular cells, or is your preferred method just to rewrite the page and have a separate html file for every possible state of the entire site? That seems excessive... why the hostility towards frames?
