As an alternative to frames, you could investigate scrollable DIVs.
e.g.:
CSS
===
HTML { overflow: hidden; }
#menu
{
position: absolute;
width: 30%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: #FF9999;
}
#pagecontent
{
position: absolute;
width: 70%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
right: 0;
background: #9999FF;
overflow: scroll;
}
HTML
====
<DIV id="menu">
... menu stuff here ...
</DIV>
<DIV id="pagecontent">
... the page content here ...
</DIV>
This avoids the evils of frames, (Google for "frames are evil").
