A: Web usability guru Jakob Nielsen is in 1996 van mening dat "Frames Suck (Most of the Time)". Hij is er zo op tegen omdat het gebruik van Frames volgens hem het basisprincipe van het web (de pagina) tenietdoet. www.useit.com... — Femke Snelting [add comment]

A: Why any one would I'd never know! Personally Iused them, once, a long time ago around 1997 or so but never since and probably never again.! — s2art [add comment]

A: Frames erleichtern es den privaten Homepage-Autoren einfach schnell und leicht ein Grundlayout zu bauen und ebenfalls einfach die Inhalte einzubauen bzw. aktuell zu halten. Ich verwende immer noch Frames. Der Vorteil von Frames sind, dass sich oft nur der Inhalt ändert und nicht jede Seite komplett neu geladen wird. Alternativ kann man aúch entsprechende HTML-Editoren oder andere Webprogrammiersprachen wie PHP verwenden, die mit anderen Techniken framelose Webseiten erzwingen. Dies ist zwar anwenderfreundlicher, jedoch wird durch framelose Techniken, die Ladezeit einzelner Webseiten erhöht. Frames sind aus meiner Sicht immer nicht out ! de.geocities.... — jodigi [add comment]

A: I don't use frames in a website that has a lot of content which can be deep-linked. I think deep-linking is useful, and frames do not allow it. — ripvanwinkle [add comment]

A: I still use frames. It's a good way to present separate file and or live feeds in a browser. nujus.net — G.H. Hovagimyan [add comment]

A: No. They will screw your SEO and make your site inaccessible. — Marcos Drake [add comment]

A: noooooooooooooooooooooo :) i'm not really a big fan of frames, thinking of all the problems they can cause.. iframes however are pretty nifty things (but also cause problems now and then) a good table design does it for me.. — bruno [add comment]

A: Not unless it's necessary conceptually or technically. There's always the issues with bookmarking and people coming from search engines. But the main consideration is: 'do I create a set of content pages or a web application?' Content pages should be easily re-usable (copying text, printing, bookmarking,...); web applications should be fast and compact. — Maarten Handstede [add comment]

A: I try not to -- I never do now that I have a good understanding of CSS and using PHP include files. The only reason to use frames is if you don't understand how to compartmentalize the different pieces by using code that runs on the server -- which actually turns out to be much easier and less confusing, once you get the hang of it. Here are some of my Demonstration scripts -- grab the code if you can use it. http://artdev.uga.edu artdev.uga.edu — jwilley [add comment]

A: Frames are the solace of those who don't or won't understand information architecture. They make it hard for disabled users, make it hard to provide intelligent links to the content that people are actually interested in, and make something elegant inelegant. Work of the devil.
