Frames are simply too "right" an idea to relegate them to the problem list forever. Framesets are intrinsically contextual in nature. They capture the layers of the onion the way the largely ignored <LINK REL=foo > structure tried to. The problem is that the relationships are not adequately articulated; too much is left to be implicit in the visual juxtaposition. Any problem we have with framesets today we are going to have in spades with multipanel multimedia presentations. Can anyone help me find some good [or as good as they get] examples of framed sites that are feasible, easy, or even gracious to navigate in [your choice of] adaptive environment? Start at www.microsoft.com and at www.cybermedia.com and tell me about a site that is better. Al Gilman
