Frame-like layout with no frames?

Can anyone suggest a way to create a frame-like layout without using evil
frames? I like the technique where a navigation bar is at the top of the
page and stays there whilst the content scrolls down but I don¹t want to use
frames. Would a layer be the best option? Does anyone have any other ideas?

Danielle,

try this:

<div id="scroll">
<h1>Scrolling Content</h1>
<p>the rest of your text or whatever</p>
</div>

#scroll {
height: 400px;
padding: 10px;
overflow: auto; /* Generates scroll bars when content extends beyond
the 400px decared in the height. */
}

Hope that helps :)
