frames, again!

[Earl Young]

     Another approach would be to include a blurb on the page about how to 
     navigate within them.  I tripped over the right mouse button by 
     accident some time ago, and was pleased to find out how valuable it 
     is.  I have added narrative to my screens to help others make the same 
     discovery.

There's been a lot of discussion about frames, so I felt obliged to put 
my $.02 in.  I had frames up on our Internet Research Tools page, but 
just recently removed them after finding out how many people were having 
trouble with them.
     
Part of the trouble with frames is that people don't realize you can use 
your right mouse button to go back within a frame (it certainly took me 
long enough to figure it out :>).  Upon entering a framed site, the back 
button will simply return you to where you were before entering the 
frames.  BUT, using the right mouse button within frames, allows you to 
navigate within the frame. 
     
Since that's not common knowledge though, it's much easier and pleasing 
to the majority of people to go without frames.
