I don't mind JS as an add-on. But it should be only that - an add-on.
And it needs to be clean, portable JS that won't crash old browsers.

I should have interjected here that frames aren't necessarily forbidden,
but they do take extra effort to do right. And you have to provide for
people who don't have them.

Agreed. Ideally, both should work. Not familiar with PHP delivery,
tho, so I don't know if that works.
And frankly, I'm all for static pages as much as possible. Use the
extras only when you *need* to. Otherwise, again. extra design time
up front saves wear and tear.
I recently redid a bunch of scripts I have for a site to completely
separate the page definition from the generated content. Even with
basic perl CGIs you can do this.

|Guess how some people searching a given page browse: without images.

Ayup. And there are folks who use text browsers - even to read
about graphics programs!
