[thelist] TABLES AND MENUS AND FRAMES...OH MY!!

generally, that's the way i do it.  using cold fusion i can have the
main page define the structure of the site (including a menu on the left
or top, etc...) and include the content in a "content area".  this
allows the site to have a consistent "navigation area" across all pages
without frames and without duplicated code.
