Fully agree. However, using fancy javascript can result in
unexpected (platform dependend?) problems. Bare HTML is more
waterproof I think). Example:
When starting a new SRS session while the SRS pages are in a
frame, using Netscape4.03 on Irix6.2 (and Netscape 4 on win95) this
results in a javascript error: parent.frames["liblist"] has no
properties.
However still no reason for not using Javascript I think. I'll
just have to make our link to srs5 go to a new browserwindow.
