Foil 49 Role of Frames in JavaScript

From JavaScript Tutorial for Certificate Course UC Web applications Certificate -- Summer 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Tom Scavo
JavaScript can help various frames talk to each other, but one sometimes needs dummy frames to preserve JavaScript between pages

  • In Layout Manager language, Netscape uses HTML syntax to control layout
  • HTML is more powerful than mechanisms in AWT Layout Managers?
