I guess that's an issue if the frame names are common things like "main" and
"display" and "gunkie_foo".  :-)

That's when I grab my clue stick and don my taunting hat, and hunt down the
page author.  :-,

What happens when the frame name contains,
say, the site's name as a prefix?

If the frame name is relatively unique, then it's really no issue.  If I have
a dozen Netscape windows up, but only one has the frame
name "SECRET_PROJECT_HENRIETTA_toc_section_four", then any HREF that targets
that frame will be loaded into that window.

It's really no biggie; I can browse the new format just as happily.  But I
was just thinking that, since it's in a script already, it'd be pretty
trivial to wrap a hyperlink around the set title and number when you wrap
it around the set images.
It would be trivial, yah, but when it was like that a while back, it really
was less readable -- too darn bright.

Good point.  But couldn't this be addressed with some clever css?  Again, no
biggie.

Cheers,
