How to Bookmark
this Page:
When you're on a site with frames and want to
bookmark, you've probably found out that it's not as easy as choosing "bookmark"
or "favorite" from the menu.
So, here's how you can trick your browser:
PC - When you're on a page you want to bookmark, right click on the page. A menu will
pop up with a bookmark (or favorite) option. Select the option, and that page (without the
frame) will be bookmarked.
Mac - Click and hold to pop up a menu. The new window will either show you the URL, or,
on newer browsers, will let you "Open in a New Window."
