Depends on what is meant by design. You are thinking the actual
mechanics, the OP is thinking the appearance and some author
conveniences. The appearance is often a perfectly legitimate thing to
want in the sense of, for example, a left col that stays fixed and a
right content area that seems to load new material in on the press of a
link in the left. And the author convenience of write/change a nav frame
once, have it appear/changed on all pages is also a legit thing to want.

Now that I have explained this, feel free to tell OP how it is done, rf.
I know you can do it. Jonathan Little has done this rather well in the
past, perhaps someone can unearth his posts? I will add just the
following:

The convenience of write/change once and have it propagate to all pages
of a website can be done via server side includes - Google being the
first friend to consult here.

As for the 'click this thumbnail in this left panel and have the
enlargement appear in the right panel' sort of thing that frames are
good for, you can simply make sure the enlargement htmls (that *include*
the thumbnail panel), are made to look like each other in *every*
respect except for the changing picture on the right.

It's an IE oddity.

Ah, that's why we Linux users didn't see it.
