    Default Help with Frames and the Browser Back Button...


    Hi all!

    I think that it isn't the first time you read this question (I think it is a
    FAQ)....however....
    ....
    I have a 3-frame page: left, top and main. When i push the back browser
    button, change only main frame.

    I would like to know, how to make "change-able" the others two frames....

    HOW TO DO IT?

    Thank U

    Massimiliano from Rome.

    You don't use frames.

    The reason for using or not using frames should be based on a) your site's
    needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential problems that frames
    can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site and for your
    visitors as casual users of the site.

    I am down on frames because I believe that they create many more problems
    than they solve.
    Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that are described,
    the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also the kind of
    person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems when they
    arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b) that you are
    prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have a need to use
    frames, then by all means use them.

    As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of frames and their
    potential problems can be found on these two links -
