The only time you need to think of height is with the smallest monitor
and browser maximized. In that case, you want content visible in the
viewport on initial load even at a width of 550 and a height of 425px.
The more critical thing is width.
be sure it all works down to 500px wide and still
looks ok at twice that.
Thanks for the advice
I have been moving somewhat forward.
I published s first trial version a few days ago at
http://users.skynet.be/derex/_test/NL_frame.htm
today I updated it to reflect the new status
The "envelope" design is pretty liquid imho - but what do other members
think ? your opionion is appreciated.
Next I think I figured how to resolve the frame like behaviour
My solutions involve some tricks other people designed I don't give me
credit for other people's work, I simply integrated the solutions
I created in the open space left by my envelope a DMTHL window wich
scrolls if needed : I called that my "infostage"
in that staging-space I created a menu space and an iframe
I found a javascript solution that allows me to display new content in
the iframe
then I found a javascript solution for the menu to make it collapsable
that allows me to create a menu of more or less then 10 items that can
be expanded in sub and sub-sub menu's recursively so I can make it as
deep as I want
As the menu contains links to effective files, I hope the spiders will
find all the files on my site thus effectively resolving the frame
drawback
while allowing the functionality of a single TOC file and a staging area
for the info i want to produce in my site ( using an iframe)
Hope you like to solution?
