Yeah, OK guys, my bad. Thanks for pointing this out to us :-)

I only[sic] recall once ever bookmarking a framed site and it did work,
this was IIRC pre mozilla/firefox/opera. I naturally thought that modern
browsers would have followed suit on this and thus posted without proper
research.

However, I suspect my statement *is* true, to a certain extent. One
deformed browser *will* take you back to the place where the bookmark was
set so yes, under certain circumstances, one may bookmark a framed site,
although "add to favourites" is probably a better term. Obviously, though,
don't use it in the wild.

In retrospect, it's probably a good thing modern browsers don't bookmark
framed sites as IE does, helps to stop the use of frames.

I knew that. I've seen you mention it several times :-)
