Don't try to "emulate" the existing frame site, you will create more
usability and accessibility problems than you need. Specifically, do not be
tempted to use overflow: scroll on anything. Redesign the site from scratch.

Code to the standard, testing in a modern browser like Firefox. Check
occasionally with IE to make sure that crippled browser still displays
correctly.

Where is your best effort so far?
