Re: Hidden field not persisting across reload

[Gordon McComb <gmccomb@ix.netcom.com>]

When you set yup a frame you define its size, either in pixels of
percentage.  You can also make the frame so that it doesn't have scroll bars
if there's more content than can fit in the actual frame "view port."  So,
what you can do is push the text field to the right or to the bottom of any
content visible in the frame.  

Frames do have to be rectangular, but you can nest framesets so that you can
divide rows and columns and even further.  Netscape uses this in their new
home page.  There are two rows, and the bottom row is subdivided into
multple columns.

I usually create an "invisible" frame along the bottom for stuff I want to
hide.  That can be done with:

        <FRAMESET ROWS="100%, *">
