I have done this for a long time. Recently I've come up with a more secure solution: I have one index file which is common for all my sites (except those made with Joomla!). Also, this index file...

That's what I was talking about.

It is normally no problem to make a filename compatible with web standards (htmlentities), so that it's converted back to the original when it reaches the...

Sorry, I fail to see how a filename naming convention has anything to do with routing information.

The contents of a HTML file with links don't matter at all until it ends up on the client's...

My solution works most of the time. I use only UTF-8, locally as well as on the Net. Maybe not perfect but it covers my needs.
Changes will never happen as long as we accept things as they are.

.... but you still think the system needs no update? :)

I'm sorry. Maybe I am an idiot here, because I don't understand what you mean.
I've been fighting this "system" since we were using punched...

We have a word for people with that kind of attitude, but because I am not English I'm afraid I can't translate. And even if I could, I'm too polite! :)

May I remind you that there are far more...

There's a world outside of USA. If a system doesn't allow characters outside the limited ASCII set, it's the system that needs to be changed.

Does if work better if you put quotes around "BRH Kannada" ?

Windows doesn't support UTF-8 encoding very well, but that would be the way to go. I don't know the Kannada font, but like many other MS TrueType fonts it may not be complete.

I always use UTF-8...

I'm sorry I haven't looked at this. It might work.
But I think I wasn't clear enough in my first post.
If I may say so, your stylesheets looked like overkill, but I realize
that you also have...

OK! I'll take that as a tip. Wouldn't have thought it was possible. You learn something every day.

I think I understand what you're trying to do.

You are using a "double" class:
<div class="tripletBox linkBlock">

I don't think you can do that.

I think you should define 3 DIVS, for...

Each user specifies this in the browser.

I only use a text editor to produce my sites.
Currently I'm using Geany, which is context-sensitive.

I tried DreamWeaver a long time ago, but it imposed too many limitations. It's probably better...

I have no good name for it. A JavaScript, and particularly AJAX expert might have a very nice solution for you but since you're not that (And I certainly am not!) I think that either you should leave...

Hehe, sorry about that. There were more "pages".
I'm not used to this forum. It does things a little differently
from what I'm used to! :)

I don't know how you have organized things, but menues can be handled very elegantly with JavaScript and/or CSS. The latter is often preferred so you really have to study what CSS can do. It's...

I just wonder why on earth you can't use padding?

I can imagine one good use of frames, but I'm afraid it would be somewhat dependent on the browser in use. Standard solutions however, should not be.

I understand your request for a solution where...

I don't think you can replace frames, but you can change your way of thinking. Frames do have some advantages, but they are responsible for maintaining oldfashioned constructs. As mentioned before, a...

I feel that I haven't answered your previous question in full. Most elements can have borders. Define a nice one with shadows like this:

border: .2em outset #00b;

which defines a border, 0.2em...

I would define margins:
If I have a "div" that I want to center, I define its margins like this:

margin: 1em auto 2em auto;

This example gives me a space of 1em above, 2em below, and automatic...

The concept of frames may disappear from the Web altogether, but it will take several years so using frames will still be a convenient solution for a long time. However, it's by many considered to be...

This doesn't look very hard, but I wouldn't use frames if I could avoid it. I would use divs instead.
With frames, define three of them, above each other:

11111
xxxxx
55555

Define the...

I've never had this problem. If one div is 5% wide, shouldn't the other just be 95%? No need to calculate!

I do something like this in several of my own sites. I also usually size objects in %...
