Framesets were cool. (Imagine having 800×600px space and then dividing it up so you had an always visible navigation and header.)

Curious as to how many #webdev #webdesign #UX folks worked on HTML frame-based (<frameset> makes me giggle now) sites back in the day. Or even now! 🤣 The Web Mistakes Confessional is now open ⏳

They had merit. Targeting content from one frame to another for example. And <noframes> helped but as noted made extra work. Then there were silly features like coloring browser and frame chrome, adding iframes into iframes. Honestly, it was very interesting and often just fun!
Frames could absolutely be crafted to be accessible to most especially if <noframe> content was made available. 12 frames with animated GIFs however did not my photosenstive epilepsy accomodate. One size never truly fits all, alas. :)

On Compuserve? Love it. Ah, The Well, GEnie, Prodigy, Delphi - multilne BBSs. Single line BBSs. Then Gopher, Telnet, Usenet, (FREENET FFS) - GREYBEARDS! Time for us to sit on rocking chairs and make statements like "these kids today!" Marco ;-)
