Thanks for coming to my aid! ;)
I cannot discuss exactly what I am going to do just yet, but for an
excellent example of why you'd want to put other sites in a frame, go to
http://torrentsearcher.filesharingplace.com .
Fortunately, I think I have found a way to emulate frames without using
frames. Althoug I'm sure some sites will try and stop it with
javascripts.....I think I can stop those efforts too.
The main goal here is to make the web more user-friendly and more useful for
the users - even if that raises the ire of some webmasters.
I think that most webmasters will like the idea of users viewing thier
pages....even if the manner in which they view the pages is slightly
different than just straight surfing to the site.
I have never understood a webmaster that would reject frames usage. The
only valid issue with having your page shown inside a frame is that it is
difficult for the end user to bookmark your site. A simple "Add this site
to your favorites" button would solve that issue.
With my method, there will be no "frames" per se (unless the webste uses
them). The entire website will remain intact. No changes to content other
than the addition of my plainly marked browsing enhancements.
Of course it will miff some webmasters.......but, doesn't everything?
