That is rather a glib remark. I thank you for answering but also
request you to check your mood. In your present disposition, you seem
to be chucking more noise than signal. Sorry! I don't mean to sound the
same. I appreciate your wanting to help. Just that it wasn't a very
helpful answer, but rather the question in the guise of an answer.
Perhaps, it would help if I amplied the question, "Not having to use
frames, what other techniques could one deploy to achieve separation of
content on a Web page?"

Thanks!

Of course, you got the idea and that means the purpose of the
communication was well-achieved.
