I remember back in the 90s, web pages could have persistent music by using a frameset. Put the player in one frame, and the browser in the other frame.
Frames were generally a bad idea, but I always wondered what exactly was wrong with this one. Seems like a reasonable idea, and you wouldn't even need Javascript!
- Gigachad 3y agoWhat’s the issue with using JS? Seems like the perfect tool for the job here.
- notatoad 3y agothe biggest problem, at least for me, is that it breaks links - you can only link to the frameset, not the actual page, and the url doesn't change on navigation. unless you start doing javascript address bar manipulations, in which case you've got both an SPA and frames.
- LeoPanthera 3y agoIs this really that different to javascript applications where the state does not alter the URL? Which seems to be most of them.
