And since I seem to have caused some trouble, by way of penance, I can
add that I have used JS on one my only remaining framed site - as Els
says to do - in the source of the actual pages. And further, within the
head. In my case, it was for folk to be able to get pictorial info on
products without losing their place, by clicking a link knowingly they
get to see a small pop up window with a bit of info and even clickable
links and pics within, eg for a review closeup of a particular line of
products. The link in the body of the source must have references to
the JS window etc. But the main functions work well and are neatest in
the head (unless you have a real complex lot, in which case, a separate
..js file, linked or referenced in the head is the way to go).
