Frames are a two-edged sword.
-
Sometimes they help navigating and cross-referencing. A good example is the
Netscape
JavaScript Reference.
-
On the other, frames are usually completely unnecessary.
-
Putting a navigation bar as a table cell, or a div inside the HTML is usually
more desirable than putting it in a separate frame.
-
Use HTML target to open other documents in new windows.
-
However, don't hide the navigation controls (unless you want to save space),
or do pop-ups of any kind.
-
They are highly annoying
and can be overridden by most browsers so you should
not depend on them anyhow.
