Frames do cause a few accessibility problems, if not implemented correctly. Even if they are implemented correctly, they cause extra hassles for those with audible reader software.
Without being able to display the frames, you would have to go to the page that goes in the navigation frame and then go to the page you want. If you want to go to another page, you have to back up the navigation frame again to select another link.
Suddenly, in the name of making navigation easier for most of your readers, you have made it harder for others than it would have been to use solid pages, each with a navigation menu.

book...
