And I'd go so far to mention that avoiding frames altogether might be a wise choice. If anyone else ever needs to take over this project, they'll be lost immediately.
You could look into using DIV's to get a similar effect, but that depends whether or not you're comfortable with coding JS from scratch...

Unless you are very comfortable with Javascript and frames loading asynchronously, I would tend to stay with single-page designs. Once you get that working, maybe then go about making it more dynamic. It just seems like a small, fairly straight forward app... Don't overcomplicate it. Just my two cents... ........................

I'm working on a small test app to display courses being attended by students. The idea is to put everything on one single HTML page. At the top of the page would appear a drop-down list of students (retrieved via cfselect tag & SQL from a CFC), and on the bottom-half of the screen would appear the courses being or have been attended. There are 3 tables: student, course and student-course (many-to-many relationship broken out to two sets of 1-to-many), student-course being the link table. Nothing fancy for the moment... What's the best way to do this? Use IFRAME's? If so, what's the general approach? How do I pass the selected student (from the top frame) in order to query the courses and display them in the bottom-half of the screen (without having to use a button)? Is this done via Javascript or can this be done via CF? Any help / guidance / pseudo-code would be gratefully appreciated.
