FRAMES OR TABLES?? - Flash/Shockwave Games & Ad Banner Rotation phpadsnew
We have a page that we will be using to host a Flash game. Basically we cut and paste a javascript link and clicking the link loads the game from the provider's server, and then the game runs in our page. We will soon using the program called phpadsnew (http://www.phpadsnew.com) to rotate banner ads throughout the site.
Our question is this: should we put the banner ad delivery in a <b>table</b> above the Shockwave/flash games? Or, will the banner ads' delivery interfere with the loading/performance of the games, and vice vera, and therefore we should put the games on one page and the banner on another and join the two via a <b>frameset</b>?
Many thanks,
Yunkaa

There are a couple of things you want to know before you decide.
Will the page with the flash game allow itself to be framed? It is very easy to prevent a page from being framed and many content heavy pages protect themselves by breaking frames.
Second, will the flash get restricted in a frame, if it needs a bigger display area than a frame then you may want to just put it in a layer and let the page stretch out naturally.
Under no circumstance would I consider using a table. The weakest possible way to do layout is with a table. Just use a couple of divs if frames are not feasible.

Hello CD! :)

Yes

No
So... we should go with the frames, yes?
