I think frames are great ... it's just the way some people use them which isn't very popular.

But I like the fact that some sites put the links bar in a frame on the left, so once it's loaded, it stays, making download time for the rest of the site quicker.

I just found this:

Browser Stats
Sat Dec 1 00:05:01 2001 - Fri Dec 21 10:55:03 2001 20.5 Days

1. MSIE 5.x 257124902 (68%)
2. MSIE 6.x 68598556 (18%)
3. MSIE 4.x 19418627 (5%)
4. Netscape 4.x 18773012 (5%)

I bet the 5% who use netscape are web designers checking thier work....

I think if you use them properly, then framesets are fine. The best framesets are ones that don't look like one.

About 16%, but that's rising as more people use Linux. Not becuase everyone on *nix uses NS, but they almost certainly use Mozilla which shows up as Netscape.

You'd be surprised how many people can't see frames. And a browser under 5 years old is less likely to support them especially as the two major browsers didn't make it a standard until 1995 - 1998.

Frames are bad from several points of veiw, especially the biggy... Useability!! Go for broke with them, but keep it simple and test it on everything.
