But if people always said what you wanted them to say, you'd have no excuse
to opt out from better methods of engineering your page...

Here's an example of a non-frames page with a stationary header and footer:

http://www.neredbojias.com/_a/whelan1.html

The nav happens to be in the header, but it could be anywhere. This page
works in ie6, ie7, firefox, and opera - all the browsers I am currently
able to test. No, the markup isn't exactly a "piece of cake", but neither
is it so esoteric as to be improbably conformed. The point is don't be so
lazy and you may be surprised by what you can do.
