Frameset Web Sites

I am making my personal site using frames and I was wondering if there are any known problems with them?

For example: Are there any search engine indexing problems?

if ya wanna show up in the engines make you index page non frames then have it go into your frame site.. most engines don't like frames

for html sites, yes. not flash sites though.

Its a pain to bookmark pages in frames.

Well rather than using frames to make the menu appear on each page so I only have to edit it once, I use the PHP include() command. This includes all the text from a file and places it into the HTML of the page, so I can have one menu on each page, but without frames.

e.g.
Content of menu.php;
Home Contact Map

Content of index.php;
<?PHP include("menu.php"); ?>
Monkeys can be found in...

Run index.php on a server;
Home Contact Map
Monkeys can be found in...

Hope that makes sense.

or ASP and SQL. have a Navbar on the same page as the contents -- the contents are dynamically run by the database so when you click on a button (or link) the contents itself is loaded not the whole page.

cool.... :)

and if you don't have any of those, use a server side include.

Yeah and also when printing. Well, when you need to.
