To Frame or Not to Frame? That is the Question
The question of whether or not to use frames within a Web site's design can be a hot topic of debate. Many people don't like framed Web sites because they 'get stuck in someone's frames,' they can't bookmark a particular page within a framed Web site, the search engines don't list their Web sites, and some browsers can't read framed Web sites at all. Clearly these are legitimate problems. This article's intent is to help clarify some of the advantages and disadvantages of using frames and provide resources for further information.

Using HTML: Preparing Documents for the World Wide Web 
This handout follows the seminar 'Preparing Documents for the World Wide Web,' so that students can focus on the presentations with minimal note-taking. The class and manual cover basic HTML codes as they apply to the creation of an HTML resume. However, these basic codes (called 'tags') can be applied to any HTML document. As we approach the end of the day, advanced topics will be covered as time allows. All tags available in the latest release of HTML may not be covered in this brief class. Internet or World Wide Web principles, except as they apply directly to the creation of your HTML resume, are not discussed. Students are expected to have some knowledge of the Web. Reference materials about the Internet, the use of browsers, and the Web are listed in this manual’s section.

The <meta> tag is often found at the top of an HTML document between the </title> and the </head> tag. It has a variety of uses, but one of the most common is the client-pull function, used to either reload or redirect pages after a specified amount of time.

XHTML, HTTP accept-header and MIME-type application/xhtml+xml
In 2005 it is high time to start serving XHTML as XML on a grand scale. Others have been doing it for years. I have been doing it since Christmas. Switching between XHTML as xml and text/html is easy using the HTTP accept header.

POSH, in case you haven’t heard of it already, is short for “Plain Old Semantic HTML”, and is obviously much quicker and easier to say than “valid, semantic, accessible, well-structured HTML”. Unfortunately POSH - semantic markup - is also something most people building websites or creating content for the Web have yet to discover.

In the current editor’s draft of the HTML 5 specification, the alt attribute for images is no longer required. I am not convinced that this is a good idea.
