Frames aren't part of the official HTML standard.
A long time ago I remember reading somewhere that they
were not going to be adopted by w3c (thankfully) and 
that all the functionality they provided would be 
provided by CSS instead

One important piece of functionality frames offer I haven't 
figured out how to reproduce yet. This is the inclusion
of a tool bar across the top of the document that doesn't
scroll off the top of the window when the user scrolls 
downwards while viewing a long document

is there anyway to reproduce this behaviour without usng
frames? (which I will not use under any circumstances)
