why would you go to iframes? less support with all the caveats of
real frames, except URLs?
here's my suggestion, without knowing a darn thing about the site
or hosting situation...
- make every frame document, other than the content frame, an
include file...
- call that/those include file(s) in appropriate places in all your
content pages...
- have a beer...
yes, it can be that easy, it has been for me on a couple
conversions for clients... it could also be more convoluted, but
that's probably still the best approach...
