noscript iFrame navigation

[markdidj]

I use a javascript created navigation system, so to provide alternative navigation for viewers with JS off I bring in an iFrame menu page with the noscript tag. All pages have the noscript iFrame, who's src leads to the same menu.html. This just has links to all of my site and an explanation on why it has come up (no JS or IE). Would this cause any problems?

Ive used a similar method and had no problesm, some may disagree, but it works for me.

Thanks Mike.

On my index page I have HTML links for the site, mainly for search engines to follow, but also providing a quick-link system, which isn't really needed. Could I take this out, letting the SE's follow the <noscript><iFrame> instead?
Would it matter if each page gets pointed to this iFrame only? There are a few links in my site, but not many, how would this method improve/ruin my PR?

IF the HTML links on your index page are useful to your users then i would be inclined to keep them.

These links should help the SE's round your site too, so you win in both areas.

Generally you need every page on your site needs to be reachable, via a link, from at least one other page. So try and incorporate this into either the afore mentioned links on your Index page or in the <noscript> tag.

Have you read through brett's post on a succesful site? If not read it now, and then read it again and again for good measure. Then take what you have learnt from that and try to incorporate that effort into your <noscript> bit or on the page itself.

Link to the content that loads into the <iframe> also.

Hope this makes sense, if you sticky me the URL of your site i will take a look and compare it the site i have employed this method on. If that will help you any.

Most people will tell you to dump the <iframe>, but i say otherwise.
