I've been thinking about the possibilities adding iframes to my website would have. Someone stated that no version of Netscape (with exception of 6) supports iframes!

According to my stats, 5% of my visitors are using Netscape, and that would be a large number of readers to loose, if that statement is true. Is it?

Well, is there any particularly pressing reason you have for using iframes, beside the "neato!" factor? :wink:

I dunno, I like iframes myself. You can always add an optional link to the included page for netscapers with less than 6. Look at http://www.tannline.com for example. Or http://www.burntdogradio.com or http://www.altbrand.com

Yes those are all sites I have something to do with :smile:

Of all the things that are poorly supported, it seems like iframes are the worst. I like them myself, but I won't use them. You never know what they're going to look like on the other end. Slighly better are object tags...

Aw... Ok. I guess you guys agree iframes are not practical. So I won't do frames. No singing and poking, ok Sylvan? :razz:
