Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is a standard Document Type Definition (DTD) of SGML. At it's most basic, it describes a document with nested headings and hyper-links. As the spec evolves, more and more control over layout is being added.
An effective web site needs to be more than visually appealing. It must be well, or at least consistently, structured internally so all information is easy to find. It must also be friendly to both search engines and those who do not have the latest wiz-bang browsers.
Web pages should also be accessible to people with disability. There is no reason that someone who is blind and must hear your web page via a speech synthesizer should not be able to get as much out of it as anyone else.
We use this bit of javascript to get us out of frames:
<script>
if( window.top != window.self ) {
window.top.location = window.self.location;
}
window.focus();
</script>
*Reportedly*, the meta code:
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">
will prevent Microsoft's "Smart Tags" feature from operating on any Web page
in which the above line appears in the header.
