[QUOTE="haiiro, post: 712081, member: 1891"] [Puts on pontificating hat] I would avoid frames at all costs. The amount of work you may save by using them is outweighed by the amount of frustration they are likely to generate among visitors. Unless your site is intended to transcend or explore the boundaries of the medium (like demian.5's <a href="http://www.demian5.com/" target="blank">When I Am King</a>, for example), don't use frames.
