You can use user controls if you want to componentize the development. The answer depends on why you are using frames in the first place. -- Chris Jackson Software Engineer Microsoft MVP - Windows XP Windows XP Associate Expert -- |
Re: alternative to frames
Perhaps something like...
| Logo | Main Navigation | Banner | Email | |_______________|______________|_________|________ _|_ | | | | Secondary | Main Page | | Navigation | | | | | Thanks Ian "Chris Jackson" <chrisj@mvps.org> wrote in message news:eD31ALhSDHA.1588@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > > Does anyone know what the best alternative to using frames?

Re: alternative to frames
The most obvious thing to do is to separate your various sections (header
and secondary navigation) into separate ascx files. The only thing you really need to decide is whether you want your navigation to stay in place or if you don't mind having them scroll along with the pages, which is what the majority of sites do today. I see nothing here that demands the use of frames, other than separation of distinct bits of code, for which you have an alternate solution. -- Chris Jackson Software Engineer Microsoft MVP - Windows XP Windows XP Associate Expert -- "ian" <ian@net.com> wrote in message news:OTIr9ShSDHA.1588@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > Perhaps something like... > > | Logo | Main Navigation | Banner | Email > | > |_______________|______________|_________|________ _|_ > | | > | > | Secondary | Main Page > | > | Navigation | > | > | | > | > > > Thanks > Ian > > "Chris Jackson" <chrisj@mvps.org> wrote in message > news:eD31ALhSDHA.1588@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... > > > Does anyone know what the best alternative to using frames?

Re: alternative to frames
I agree with Chris. Web User Controls sound like the best way to go to
divide up your page sections.

Re: alternative to frames
Thanks, this looks like the way to go.
