Frameset Web Sites

[enstent]

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?

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.
