Frames Pro and Contra


 

 

Frames: regions reserved to place content into, for logical and physical separation (like a picnic plate).

Pro: Allows precise placement of content with control over width and height, distances, scroll-bars. Can keep navigation and design elements fixed, while scrolling other parts of the page.

Contra: Problems with searching (finds pages without their navigational elements), printing, and viewing page source. Resizing issues due to individual font size preferences/needs.

Example: UIC FirstClass User Guide
