Hi everyone, I'm trying to make my site a bit more user friendly and I'd like to add a search function so that people can find what they want want quickly from my archives. My archive is built using tables in iframes. See here.<br /><br />Any advice would be much appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks, Mike.<!--content-->
Userfriendly to whom? You mean making it user friendly to a wider audience, like screen readers and handheld devices? In which case iframes, tablelayout and flash isn't a good solution.<br /><br />Or do you mean to regular computer browsers and "user friendlyness" in terms of layout and element positions?<!--content-->
