Is it entirely possible if Netcraft would detect the frameset configurations on web site and warn to say that "This site contains frameset which could contain..." only as a fair warning that it validated the original web site
I am sure a toolbar can be created that parses the HTML to figure out where the frames are coming from. But I would have serious privacy/security concerns with that. I wouldn't want to install a plugin, that parse the HTML content, to get the URLs (for frameset) and send it to a 3rd party server (borg cube) for verification. This is especially worse, if the cotent is from a SSL enabled site. The way that netcraft toolbar currently works, does not require parsing of the content of the page, or sending anything from that page to the netcraft verfication server. -- In Peace, Saqib Ali http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/
