Hi everebody,

what about having the title to state what the frame is about, or to
have the url of content_view? In practice it happens e.g. that the
bot indexes file_ct.html (if he does at all). If a user follows this
link from a search engine, he will end up on the desired page, however
without any navigation facilities, or any means to see the structure
of the document.
There are several approaches to resolve this problem. E.g., we might
put the needed information in the Title attribute like
a) Contents Frame of http://.../file_tf.html
b) Provide a link in any frame to the current tf_frame
c) Have tables instead of frames, which provides simple means of
avoiding all this (no offence here Ross ;-)
Cheers
Uli
