that's one way to do it... i actually keep my content in my .asp
page and include that page nav and structure... this way i have
multiple physical pages of content, with only one place to update
the layout and nav...

my approach is often to include includes in my includes... IOW,
nested includes...
so, one file might have the JS *only*, then i have a file that holds
the nav *only*... then i call both includes where i want them in my
master template... then my final content file calls my master
template (which calls the other two)... dig?

frames offer no benefit to you that you can't get through includes --
and better... using frames, in fact, could create a lot more hassle
(ready for a plug? it's old, but still good):
