XFrames
Welcome to XFrames.co.uk, information and tips on XFrames!
Introduction to XFrames
Put simply XFrames is an XML application that is being developed by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) for combining multiple documents together into a single page. It is intended as a replacement for HTML frames that are seen as clunky and unprofessional. As of February 2008 it is still only a W3C Working Draft.
Wikipedia gives a brief description of how XFrames are planned to be used:
Its creators hope to solve some of the problems associated with current HTML Frames. These problems include: the web browser's Back button no longer functioning intuitively, losing the ability to bookmark (a.k.a. to add Favorites) specific documents easily, sometimes getting unexpected results when reloading the frameset, getting trapped in a frameset, and not being able to distinguish the locations of the different documents which is a security issue.
