<font size=3>The best argument against frames has nothing to do with
browsers. It has to do with the way that browsers and pages
operate.&nbsp; If you put a complete index on the frame page, old
browsers and search engines will find all of your pages, but when people
go to them, they will get only that page and not your web site as you
intended. Also, bookmarks do not work in a frameset, since the only page
that cane be book marked is the framepage since all other pages operate
inside of that page.<br>
<br>
I built a navigation system that I like and it is repeated on every page,
it is more work for me, but it provides better access to the web site,
and a more flexible navigation system. You may see it at my URL below.

Could someone please tell me which of the older browsers don't support
frames? I'm trying to talk a client out of using them and I need some
stats.<br>

Thanks,<br>
