It isn't needless, it's the better way to do it. Among reasons why:
1. Otherwise, people won't be able to bookmark your pages or send links
to them to other people.
2. Search engines will either ignore your site, they'll display links to
the material that goes into the IFRAMEs, which means that anyone who
comes to your site via the search engine won't see your navigation.
But you define the common code on every page. You put it in a separate
file and #include it on each page with the following one-line directive:
<!--#include file="common_file_name"-->
Navigation:
