Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Punishingly Intricate

It depends on how the webpage is built, though. Though "frame" isn't a real user-friendly term for most audiences.

Yes, I'm not concerned really with how it's built so much as how it will appear to a user. Actually, how it will appear to a user with some kind of sight impairment.

Not as I've seen it used -- the parts you're talking about are header, footer, sidebar, if you're talking in physical layout terms; or nav bar (sometimes top nav, left nav) if you're talking function (since they're most often used for navigation). "Skin" isn't page structure, but the style you apply to it (like the way on some sites you can make your headers blue or read or some such shit).

I see what you mean. Maybe I can just say all the pages of the site contain the following: and list the static elements.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sounds good. All pages of the site contain top and left-hand navigation elements? (or wherever they happen to be)?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oooh! an index to abandoned amusement parks around the country.

The Joker definitely has this bookmarked.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

The Joker definitely has this bookmarked.

Problem is, so does the Batman.

Quick question (that might be stupid but I'm willing to risk my dignity to get a quick answer), what do you call the part of a website that stays the same when you click through the website's pages? Like here it would be the buffistas logo and links on the left.

Boilerplate?

What a coincidence--the Chicago Tribune today has an article on some tunnels under the Green Mill.

OK, now Sophia's link has made me wonder just what the urban explorers found protected by booby-traps in the Rochester Crazy Warehouse.

Like that's gonna stop the Joker. I think I've also seen him holed up at abandoned novelty factories and closed comedy clubs.

But c'mon! He really needs an abandoned amusement park. Sure he's easy to find, but the backdrops...
