That's not a perfect solution, and can still cause immense headaches. It 
requires, for example, that you have two copies of every page on the 
site, and that the navigation be very very careful.
   Consider my employers' site, for example - webworks.ie - part of the 
spec was that it "had to" use IFrames. I hated that. Had to come up with 
extremely messy solutions to work around it for most browsers, and it 
will never be perfect. Thanksfully, we should be moving on to something 
better soon...
