I hate using frames, i dont know why but i have never put a frame in any of my website. Its like a page in a page, eating excessive bandwidth!! What do you think of frames? Do you use them? What for?

I've stopped using frames/iframes. For 6 years Frames have been very French-orientated. In recent years I've used CSS and the following code:

Code:

#div {
overflow:auto;
width:20px;
height:100px;
}

Frames have very limited use these days. Avoid them unless you have a specific need (AJAX, content from another page, etc).

I don't see that many frames around any more. They were horrible to work with and often you got a page with in a page when it didn't refresh correctly.

I'm against frames whenever possible due to the fact that it may not display to mobile users.

Ya I have not been a fan of frames myself either. I think they look terrible and with today technology there are so many better ways to go.
