Because if you have a table that's, say, half way through a page, it's difficult to organise a frame such that the row headings line up with the table rows. Plus, if the table is long, you have to scroll down both the frames in sync in order to get the rows to line up properly. So frames will only work well if the table takes up the entire window and no vertical scrolling is needed, which is relatively rare (?). If using frames was an option for this kind of problem, there wouldn't be a need for the THEAD and TFOOT elements either. Jeni
