Draw Backs using Frames

• Unaddressable resources
• The focus is on layout, not structure
• Framesets declaration only states that the frames are rows or columns, and how wide each one should be.
• There is no way to determine the role of the frames being defined
• This makes it impossible to create an alternative display of the frames.
• A structure-oriented model allows multiple documents to be made accessible in other environments.
• Totally incompatible
• The general rule for HTML is that if an element is not understood by a browser, it should be ignored
• If an element is not understood, then the rest of the document is still displayed.
• Frames does not display text if elements are not understood.
