One (semi) solution: put a little javascript in each "framed" page that
kicks the user into the proper top-level frameset. Can't say I've ever seen
this happen when I hit a "solitary" (unframed frameset element) page out of
a search engine, though, (can't say I remember ever landing on a "solitary"
page at all) which *could* lead me to the conclusion that the individual
framed pages _never_ get indexed; only the top frameset and it's <noframes>
section.
I suppose that the spider would follow href's in the <noframes> area, but
don't have any proof. ?? Anyone?
