[Sigia-l] Right-side navigation

[Arjun Sabharwal]

Hello:

Donna's blog presents a good case for developing mirror 
sites for left-handed people.  Having worked in libraries, I 
have seen not once that users leave the terminal with the 
mouse on the left side. 

I wonder if there is already a trend for such assistive 
solutions.  I also wondered if you create a frames template 
in DreamWeaver with the options available to you, you should 
be able to make a navigable (nested?) right side with the 
alignment to the left is important to make text visible in 
small windows.  In this case, the main frame (chosen as 
target also) would be on the left.  This begs the question 
though: is the main frame as target choice defaulted to the 
right, or can it be chosen to be in the left frame?

I think it shows that current web design practices sooner or 
later will leave the present "right-handed" paradigm for a 
more flexible choice...or perhaps I am reading something 
else into these messages :-).
