The problem with this approach is you lose the ability for search engines
to index the content of your pages.. most won't go into a frameset, because
if they index a page in a frame, they have no way of loading the frameset
then inserting the desired file into that frame.
Frames have their uses sometimes, (rarely:), but I wouldn't give up
search engines to avoid a little javascript. I would rather just reduce the
size of the graphics or eliminate them. The best looking site in the world
is useless if nobody find it.
One of the sites we did required the use of frames to hide URL parameters.
One of the special features we offer our clients is high search engine
position. This was the only site we did where we couldn't get them in the
top 10. We wound up having to do some strange things - a lot of extra work
- to create pages just for the search engines to index - that no real
people would ever see:)
