Frames: Finding the URL of a Framed Document (via NBS) -- "Whether the page you want to cite is part of a framed site or not, you must always get the full URL for the source. When you click the navigation links, the document displayed in the main window will change, but the URL at the top of the screen won't. Because an academic paper requires you to cite the precise page where you found your information, framed pages can be hard to interpret."

Thanks for featuring two of my pages today, John.

It's always slightly startling -- in an enjoyable way -- to see handouts that I've written for my own students show up in the weblogs that I frequent.

Sometimes when I realize that one of my teaching documents is about to get a lot of eyeballs, I get the urge to go back to it, spruce it up, and in particular, provide more business-oriented examples -- so that readers who aren't in academia won't feel left out.

But then I wonder whether a large portion of the WebWord audience might actually be students, or recent graduates looking for a usability job -- which would imply that the academic examples are appropriate, and that weblogs such as this one are sufficient for placing my contributions into a commercial usability context.
