[thelist] Frames vs Divs

Dear List,

I personally don't like frames, because they hide the URL of the inner
frames which usually contain the information which is of interest for
a user.

However, they have the advantage that only the content of the inner
frame is usually loaded and the content of the other frames remains
the same, making the loading (in my experience) sometimes faster.

My question is: shouldn't the loading time be around the same, since
the machine will cache the "heavy" content (images etc) in the divs
that remain the same anyway? Is the loading time actually around the
same for frames and divs and I am just imagining things? Is there any
real advantage in using frames over div? Is it worth even mentioning
frames these days?

Danke,
Berns
