There are many reasons not to use frames. and only 2 reasons to use them.
A. You can have an easily immobile sidebar to one side with a scrolling pane to the other side. Which is nice, it can be done with JS and <div>s now though.
B. You don't have to re-load sections of the site. But with the number of broadband users skyrocketing, this too isn't all what it is cracked up to be.
I'm considering useing frames again. Only, detecting if the main frame-page is present and reloading everything if it is not. All my pages will have to be phps. I'll create a session varaible with the frame page and detect it with the other pages.
In theory, I should be able to do some interesting things, but it will take testing. I'm not sure it can't be done better with Ajax, though.
