Kristian, frames have even been removed from XHTML 1.0 (though there is a separate "Frameset" DTD). > In my situation, it seems logical to use them. > All my web users will be using IE5+ or Firefox so they > can see frames. Will everyone have javascript? > Probably more people using frames than javascript. According to the Security Space's Technology Penetration Report, it happens to be just the opposite, and by a considerable margin: http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200610/techpen.html (though admittedly javascript can be disabled in the client's browser, while frames can't). > I just don't like the idea of the whole page refreshing > - will look bad. You don't have to refresh the whole page. Just use any AJAX framework (they're implemented accross the major browsers), and you'll be able to refresh just the specific page element you desire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_framework Or, if you prefer, you can use directly XMLHttpRequest. There are also several Perl modules to help you in using these techniques, such as HTML::Prototype and CGI::Ajax.
