Want to see a site with frames that isn't cross-browser? Take a look at http://www.scifitcanada.com/ and actually enter the site. The developer used a pop-up window (don't ask me why; I'm bidding on the revamp, though). In all flavours of IE, the site looks fine. In Netscape 4.x, there are small gaps between the frames. Since the logo across the top actually stretches into two frames, there is a lovely little gap in the middle of the word FIT. And the large square that holds the content is pushed down and to the right, throwing off the alignment of the right-hand frame too. In Netscape 6 the pop-up blows apart completely, and the frames scatter to the edges of a full-screen window.

Because of the cross-browser issues and the search engine issues, I'll avoid using frames as much as possible.

The cross browser problems are not caused by frames, rather by incompetent coding.
It can be made cross browser compliant.
It's all a matter of know-how and careful hand coding.

I agree. But using frames made a simple little site WAY too complicated. Using excessive JavaScript can do the same thing. Why make sites more complicated than they need to be? And as more and more browser versions become available, the problem gets worse and worse.

I still don't like frames.
