Hello everyone...

I'm just gonna vent about W3C and Google and using frames in web design.

Personally, I am not ashamed to say "I like frames."

Frames are our friends. Frames allow you to have your Nav section not flicker everytime a user clicks a menu link.

Sorry, but Google (with their "one document...one page" ideology), and the
W3C for phasing out frames are just plain wrong! (period)

Look, I've been a software developer for going on 17 yrs. now. And there is a right way, and a wrong way to do things. It is wrong to refresh a part of the screen when you don't have to. It is inefficient! There's no point! Why you doing it?

Menus, backgrounds, etc. should not have to be refreshed just because a user wants to look at a different page on my site...it's just silly. Ergo use of the infamous "nav frame," and "content frame" is good! It avoid that ugly whole screen flicker

So I say STICK UP FOR YOUR FRAMES! Frames are people too! And when I'm elected president...there will be an iframe in every pot!

Thank you for your co-operation!
