Do not use frames except out of necessity. There is no need for them.

Browsers are capable of caching parts of webpages, so your layout graphics won't need to be reloaded, unless you've been sitting there a long time. And also they're lame as freaking 2001.

I've decided iframes are brillant things though if used right - you can load content into invisible ones then use it to manipulate the visible stuff, or have the new page call some function in the parent to make it do stuff - I think this is how AJAX might work in some places, like the fancy stuff on these forums. At work, we got a giant wall plasma screen 2 weeks ago to show the status of various network/service components in realtime, so I wrote a few pages using javascript and iframes to load different pages dynamically whilst keeping others in the background without reloads, and change between them without horrible reload screens appearing Stripped down example with non-work pages here - looks nice in Firefox, didn't care about IE when making it

My comment was mostly directed to people such as dollers who like to make iframes their layout, so they can just put a little 400x400 box in the center of a page. There's no need! your example is just hypnotizing

[crono_logical]

Nah, a tiny box in the centre is bad use of space as far as I can see
