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:
“If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself.... If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“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)
“A writer who writes, “I am alone” ... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
