I agree with you about usage of frames when they are not needed. Your example perfectly illustrates the case where extra frames don't offer any help. Window is small and with or without frame is clear where the text belongs. When we have much larger portion of the screen, than some help to follow the text is good add on. Would be that fame, consistent font, colors, it is not important. Simplification of layout using white spaces works for large screen, well cotrolled font size and shape, like in the books or your example, which is not the case with web pages that depend on font provided by system. What I have here is that heading 2 is normal font, heading 3 is smaller, but bold, and that really doesn't help to follow the text. This doesn't depend on used browser. What I can't agree is to use the same method to solve all problems. Hammer is good for nails, but not for screws. They look alike, but they are not the same. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
