Need frames in a few pages

Hi,
I have a client who insist that selected pages on his site have frames.
In this case, iframes is not an option. I have developed the site based
on templates. How do I set up the frames page in light of my templates?
How do I jump between frames pages and no frames pages?
Thanks.
Vanessa

Your client needs an education. Here is some ammunition -

You cannot. The frameset and its constituent frame pages will have to be
made independently of your site's template. You can, however, make new
templates to cover the pages that will be displayed within the frameset.

> How do I jump between frames pages and no frames pages?

From the no-frame pages, just link to the frameset page. From the frameset
page, link to the no-frame page with a target of "_top".

I know.... 8)

But then you are the webmaster, and he/she chose you because of an inherent
trust in your judgement.

Thanks Murray.

It's hard changing a client who is set in his ways.

Sincerely,

Vanessa
