Thanks for the review. I wanted to convey a minimalistic feeling to the page using my minimalistic html knowledge (which I picked up while writing it). And for that, using frames looked like a convenient solution to me. But now I read about frames being evil, I agree with that. At first I tried to use CSS frames -- and the dock, header and content part of the site all have absolute CSS positioning (see title.css). But what I could not do was to keep the dock and header only in one place, and only change the content by clicking on the icons. I guess that's something trivial to implement for someone who knows a bit about web pages - which is not my case. The whole source code for the website is here: http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/crm66/wmakerwebjohn.tar.gz The source is simple (so that even I can read it), so I encourage people to look at it, please. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
