G'day
As far as I'm concerned, when you have a great long scrolling list (for
example) and you want (need) to keep the nav stuff stationary, frames
represent the ONLY way to do it.
They don't.

I agree.
However.... You can still achieve the same effect without using frames or javascript, even in IE (at least, IE6, not sure about 5.x which has less market share).
Sized divs with overflow:auto are one option, though mousewheel scrolling doesn't work on those in Mozilla based browsers (unless that's been fixed recently)
There's another option that uses (for MSIE) overflow:hidden on the html element and overflow:auto on the body, combined with position:absolute for the elements you want to fix in place (e.g. a navigation div).
I'd provide a URL but can't remember where I found it (anyone ?)
