Ah. You didn't include that in your details. Frames were abandoned by
their creator sometime around 1994, as I recall.

Is this a public site? Do you know what search engines will provide
their users? Your unframed page ... sans everything in the other
frames.

Do you know how easy it is to, for example, right-click in the frame and
choose "This Frame > Open in new Tab (or window)" ?

Professionals? Or people who don't know how to install a proper browser? ;)

Only partially, I think.

The reason is more the positioning rules. IE6 doesn't grok setting all 4
positions top, bottom, left and right. It seems to have managed left and
right together, overriding the cols value, but not top and bottom so it
remains 1 row.

By all means, allow me to clarify. Most professional Web designers and
developers would strongly disagree that you can abandon consideration
for IE6, for the simple reason that so many people "don't know how to
install a proper browser". ;-)

And, of course, nor need he have, given his original question.
