ASP+Frames=Good Idea??? 1

[puitar]

Greets,

I'm writing specifications for a new asp web database project. I'm not sure whether I should support html frames in the solution. Is it a good idea? How would the frames communicate? Would I need a lot of session variables? Can variables be passed via the URL? Where is some good stuff to read? All my users have IE 5.5. Server=IIS. I prefer VBScript over JavaScript.

Hello puitar!

1) ASP is a good tool!

2) Using frames - I've used it a lot and I love it, BUT I wouldn't use now for Internet siet but could use for intanet. If you build site for some number of clients (internet or something) frames are good because they decrease traffic and navigation is easier. Number of Session variables won't increase because of using frames.

3) Most sites pass some data (variables) via URL. I do it as well.

Good Luck!
