cross frame javascript and ssl sites

Post by tylerdurden »

Hi,

maybe this can safe someone some headaches:

A recent project of mine uses javascript across frames to display menus. Problem is: when one frame is called via a secure ssl connection and the other isn't you'll get javascript errors that an object on the other frame can't be accessed. You have to serve both frames via ssl.

Ever since I've been using HTML, I've never used frames. I've never met at time that they come into advantage.

The current project that I am working on consist's of frames. This is the second time that I have dealt with frames, the first time being about 4 years ago and at that time they sucked. As I began to design this project I took a look at frames and it has changed some what since 4 years ago.

As of right now I have had no problems with them. Of course I only have one little snippet of java, everything else is php and html. :roll:

Was there a question in this thread? I can't tell.

Anyway, yes, frames are awful. The only reasonable justification I've ever seen to use them is when you need part of a document to be able to hold data and variables that are used site-wide. And I suppose they could be used for tracking and marketing purposes as well, but there's better ways to do that.

anything that you need frames for you can do with layers and css... I've never come across a problem where frames would be better... could anyone give an example where frames would be better??
