If you use Netscape 7.2 you will find that after you use Netscape search to find something the results will be listed under a frame header that offers you the option to close the frame, but if you don't close it, and continue to click on links within the framed page below, then you can go as far as you like, but if at any time you choose to save a page but want to first close the frame, guess what happens?

the page you are viewing is viewed oustide the Netscape frame?

Nope!

This is what happens:

Remember the first page you were on, about 20 clicks earlier? when you clicked search inside Netscape? That's exacly where you will return to, then you know what you gotta do next, once you are out of netscape's frames, you have to click all the subsequent links inside the pages you were viewing earlier to get eventually back to the unframed version of the 20th page you wanted to view in the first place but were inside a frame.

that sucks.

lookat wants to know if frames are a way Netscape 7.2 keeps track of your browser search history and who needs to know that?
