I'm still seeing frames (meaning I have 2 menus).

The downside to not having the menu in a frame is that when you scroll the page you scroll the menu. Thus was born that abomination "the floating menu".

Yes an improvement, though I didn't have a problem with frames. It looks cleaner, neater and pleasant. The thing I still miss is a decent index for each of the sections "Language" and "Phobos". Especially for Phobos as often I want to look up the details of a something and all I know is its name (or near enough) but not sure which module its in.

I suppose someone can write a quick program to read all the phobos files and generate some HTML as an index.

Regan,
It's only index.html that is still a frame.
 try
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/lex.html

Actually, the thing I really dislike about frames is when you link to an external site, eg the 'D links' page.

Huge improvement, IMHO.
I like it.

I often run into the same situation. Without an index, I have to grep.

Improvement.  Keep it.

Want to take a whack at it? It could be done as a melding of wc and the html preprocessor.

Actually I've already started on something. It's a little more generic in that it will read a set of HTML files and produce a 'significant' word index for the whole set.

Mr. Bright,
IMHO You should redesign DM website according to design provided by Trevor
Parscal (he submitted it few months ago). - It was really superior design I
think. He also said he would volunteer to help You with it, but looks like
nothing happened. I know Mr. Parscall and all I can say is that he's very
skillfull guy (artist, musician, developer...).
I think no-frames version would be nice for search engines - so the best
would be to have both of them, and let visitor chose which one (s)he would
use.

Kind regards

Dejan
