Is there the capability in any of the common modern browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, ...) to turn off frames so that I can view what is seen in the <NOFRAMES> section? Some other tool? Or some other common technique to do so? It's been a long time since I've looked at them, and I realize that very few people browsing are going to see them, either, but I want to at least want to preview them, and I'd prefer doing that in place, not editing the source (with the possible errors that can introduce).

Supposedly this can be viewed by using the NCSA Mosaic Browser, althouth I have not tried this.

It can be found here:

Read down the page a bit, it will tell you to download another browser, but then tell you that you download if from there ftp site.

Hope this helps!

I was hoping there was something on modern browsers - I knew that Mosaic did not recognize frames, but I haven't used it. I have done some text only browsers than don't recognize frames, but there are enough other incompatibilities that I don't really trust them, either.

I tried Mosaic - it isn't showing what I expected, but I don't know if that's my problem, or theirs :dunno:

Firefox, type "about:config" into the address bar and press Enter.

Then change this value in the list:
browser.frames.enabled
(right-click and choose "Toggle")

Mozillazine forums say it works.

Just the thing I was looking for. :yeah:
However, It didn't seem to work on my first try (I still got the full frame view. ):wah:
Let me try closing the browser and reopening.

Maybe a hard refresh to clear the cache. I read about it here after typing "frame" into about.config:

Closing the browser and opening it worked.
Neither Ctrl+F5 or Shift+Reload as suggested in the link you provided did.
A completely new tab did, though.

Oh, my 100th post and I used it for a success!!
Some random thoughts about this - it seems to let you have some tabs which display frames and some that don't. That seems the best of all possible worlds.
