Core frames progress
by Michael Drake
Moved from browser window to appropriate content handler:
+ box overflow scrollbars
+ core form select widget
These now don't need current_redraw_browser and work fine in iframes.
Still managed by browser windows:
+ text selection contexts
+ text search contexts
These still use current_redraw_browser and don't work in iframes yet.
The html_redraw code also uses current_redraw_browser to determine if
we're printing (so it can decide whether to render selections, etc).
Next I'll alter the redraw functions, so that they are passed redraw
contexts. Then after the selection and search contexts are sorted out, we
can remove current_redraw_browser completely.
Then Iframe scrollbars, then frames.
Can people send me URLs for sites that use frames?

http://www.masonicons.de has a URL-masking "full page" frame.
Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

Core frames progress
by Michael Drake
I've done a first pass at core iframes in r12474. They should just work,
without front end maintainers needing to do anything special.
Here's an example page:
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/temp/iframe/test-target.html
The main things to be aware of are:
a. They currently lack scrollbars
b. Text selection with iframes is a bit funny
c. Dragging box scrollbars inside iframes might not work
d. The core form select widget isn't redrawn in iframes
e. Pasting into form text inputs & textareas doesn't work in iframes.
a: Before I give iframes scrollbars I need to do some stuff with CSS
overflow scrollbars.
b: Text selection is odd because of the current_redraw_browser hack that
needs to be removed. Selection may also need some more work to handle
browser windows not having their own gui window too.
Fixing the other three things should be easy once I get round to them.
Layout positioning of iframe boxes is actually improved now, since we no
longer hard code them to inline-block box types.
My plan is to fix all but 'b' before moving on to frame(set)s, unless
anyone dislikes the way core (i)frames are being implemented. Maybe I'll
do 'b' first too, it depends on when I, or someone else has a good idea.
If anyone sees any issues not listed above let me know.
Also, if you have any real-world examples of sites with (i)frame(set)s,
please send me the URLs.
