Thanks for the advise. Must say I was hoping for a more elegant solution than nested tables.
I'll certainly look into these options, but I don't have the time to start studying a new topic as there's still a lot standing in the queu. (btw: did you get the mail with that review?).
I don't care anymore about really older stuff like NN4 problems (NN4 has no problems: it simply is a problem), people not being able to view frames, javascripts, flash, layers etc.. What I do care about is minimal download time as many people still have 56K modems.
What I want is a navbar that stays in place and on which are all the major sections. Each of these opens with a main page and a set of links on a second level that varies per section, but that doesn't change with every page. I thought frames was a good way to do these. AZgreed, they existed some four years ago so they are old and outdated, but all browsers (except some antique ones) can now safely interpret them.
On a third level come thumbs or basic info, and the "real" info opens on separate pages (I have some tricks in the back of my mind for these...)
as for the javascript trick to confuse webbots: you heard about this? On your page it simply reads somethings like (no brackets of course) clickhere@myemail.org . When people click on it, clickhere is changed into your name and myemail in your domain. This new, real link is opened in a new page and people can click on it to open their e-mail client. See, as the real names aren't displayed but are hidden in the java code and can only be opened if the javascript is activated by clicking, webbots cannot get your e-mail adress. For the time being.
Shocking that they can already use ocr now to interpret gifs just for adding your e-mail adress to their spamlist!
I say: it's the government's secret services that are behind all this. The freedom and anarchy of the Internet has to be broken and brought under control. Big Brother.
