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 ⏳

Of course, thankfully things are a bit nicer these days. But they did make it nice and easy to do didn’t they

Did they? I can barely use the Web and insofar as esthetics it's not exactly CSS Zen Garden optimism. Sometimes I think presentation for document-based Web sites is pure waste. Of course, esthetic to me is often in the content, not the site's "design".

Well I’m the sense of one frame being navigation etc. I remember that being incredible at the time 😂

Yes, with targeted results. It was a very useful paradigm and I have seen it scale to Uni level research data when used with ontologies and in the most advanced case at the time I saw it, Selenium.

Yeah I think the only times I’ve seen it used recently have been for large generated datasets so still a useful use case for those
