That depends on your requirements. Iframes can be useful for PCI compliance where you don't want any credit card information to go anywhere near your site. Where I live hosted payment pages are the common workaround for this. An issue with this is those that are not used to hosted payment pages may trust them less, and they don't offer as much flexibility to keep the popup "in brand".

We're not talking about designing it, we're talking about deploying it. The conversation is over there ------>

He didn't deploy it. He left it on his own property and someone stole it. That's not "deployment".

If I have an unfinished piece of work in my garage that's dangerous (e,g, unfinished wiring, sharp edges) I cannot be held responsible if someone steals it and hurts themselves.

Comment Re:New Zealand is a whites only country (Score 1) 247

"White" is a very American centric term, that racist term is not used in New Zealand to refer to someone's. Just as we don't use the misnomer "black". Is it the two party political system in the states that makes americans think in racial terms like white and black? It's always struck me as peculiar, people with light coloured skin are far from white (more like peach) and those with dark coloured skin are more often brown. Skin colour should matter as much as eye colour.

And you missed the point. It's not that chrome won't load HTTP sites-- it's that you won't be able to find them on google search.

Use a different search engine. Google isn't the only one. It's their kit and they get to decide how their algorithms rank search results.
