Foil 35 Role of Frames in JavaScript

From CPS616 Lectures on JavaScript CPS616 Basic Information Track for Computational Science -- Winter-Spring Semester 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Frames are very relevant to JavaScript because not only can JavaScript help the various frames talk to each other but also one sometimes needs dummy frames to preserve JavaScript between pages
In Java AWT we learnt about hierarchical layout schemes -- in Netscape 2.0 world the containers in which subcomponents are laid out are frames and forms within frames.
  • In Layout Manager language, Netsape uses HTML syntax to control layout
  • HTML is more powerful than mechanisms in AWT Layout Managers?
