Unfortunately some browsers choose not to correctly implement frames,
just like some cannot correctly render CSS2.

I recently constructed a small set of pages in simple frames,
an index in a left side column, page content in the main frame.
W3C validated OK. Rendered OK in all browsers I tested except
Amaya and the current poster boy FireFox.

I reconstructed it with CSS2, W3C validated OK.
Rendered OK in my test set except the most widely used
on the 'net Internet Explorer.

I fell back to tables, clunkier, harder to maintain,
but they just worked. I refuse to use browser sniffing code
to dish up different versions.
