alternative to frames

[ian]

Does anyone know what the best alternative to using frames? I've looked at
Object but this doesn't seem to work in IE6...

TIA

What do you want to do? You can use a div if you need to have a section of
your page scroll. You can use user controls if you want to componentize the
development. The answer depends on why you are using frames in the first
place.

Perhaps something like...

| Logo | Main Navigation | Banner | Email
|
|_______________|______________|_________|________ _|_
| |
|
| Secondary | Main Page
|
| Navigation |
|
| |
|


Thanks

The most obvious thing to do is to separate your various sections (header
and secondary navigation) into separate ascx files. The only thing you
really need to decide is whether you want your navigation to stay in place
or if you don't mind having them scroll along with the pages, which is what
the majority of sites do today. I see nothing here that demands the use of
frames, other than separation of distinct bits of code, for which you have
an alternate solution.

I agree with Chris. Web User Controls sound like the best way to go to
divide up your page sections.
Here's more info:

Thanks, this looks like the way to go.
