Methods
There are multiple ways to accomplish this side-by-side arrangement of web pages. There is significant value in specialized HTML code for creating side-by-side information displays for reasons of improved user readability and comprehension, reduction in the data transmission load on the Internet and expanded options for authors addressing more complex subjects.
Some concerns about this long-standing frameset feature of the HTML 3.0 and HTML 4.0 standards have led to its removal from the HTML 5.0 standard (except for iframes). Replacements include XFrames (still a W3C "working draft" as of 2010), or the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), server-side includes, and scripting languages such as PHP.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“It would be some advantage to live a primitive and frontier life, though in the midst of an outward civilization, if only to learn what are the gross necessaries of life and what methods have been taken to obtain them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Generalization, especially risky generalization, is one of the chief methods by which knowledge proceeds... Safe generalizations are usually rather boring. Delete that “usually rather.” Safe generalizations are quite boring.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
“We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say—and to feel—”Yes, that’s the way it is, or at least that’s the way I feel it. You’re not as alone as you thought.””
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
