I'd have to agree with Ian on using Frames--I've found no end to problems
with them, as not all browser support frames equally.  Netscape 2.x and IE
3.x don't support frames very well--neither does lynx.  That means that if
you start using frames, you have to maintain two sets of pages--one for the
"framed" version and one for the "unframed" version.  Maintaining two sets
of pages is a major headache--even if you only have 20 pages, you end up
having to maintain 40.

Just my .02...
