Ray,

But preface it with the ridiculous:

If you're going to create good customer-focused web sites, then frames are a

huge advantage to navigation if the customer's browser supports them. And if

the customer's browser doesn't support them, then they will view the version

of your pages that you have designed for the non-frames brigade.


It might be trendy amongst geeky programmers to slag off frames, but

remember before you join them that it is also trendy amongst geeky

programmers to masturbate over pictures of Patrick Stewart.


Take care


Andy
