To use frames you would just swap out your body tag with your frameset
tag
<frameset onunload="closeMe();" onbeforeunload="closeMe();">
<frame name="content" src="index.cfm" />
<noframes>
you browser must support frames to use this site
</noframes>
</frameset>
I haven't tested this but I believe it should work... I've done
something like this before, although I used iframes.
