Welcome to the hysterical fundamentalisms that liken using frames to
shooting oneself.

Hysterical? Hardly. You're the one who sounds hysterical.

Um, it was only an example that better illustrates the *discussion* part
of this discussion group than merely stating "frames are bad".

You're only whining about it because it was I who said it.

Have you ever pondered the interesting distinction between being
hysterical and sounding so? A serious minded, compact delivery can be
the tip of an iceberg whose nature is very different. And vice versa.

Maybe my English is too bad but I don't understand what you wanted to say.
Somebody asked a solution for frame style pages and I wrote my ideas. What I
did wrong?

Sorry. "Shoot yourself in the foot" means you are doing something bad to
yourself.

The point is that this is a discussion group, not a help desk. If
somebody posts a question about how to do something that we consider a
bad practice, most of the regular posters here would rather tell them
why it is bad and show them better solutions instead of giving the
answer they wanted to hear.

We don't want to encourage frames. There are almost always better ways
to do whatever the poster wants to do.
