I know frames are frowned upon, but I'm not sure why. I orginally designed my site using them, in total there are 5. I've now redesigned the skin using a single iframe. Should I use the iframe design or the frame design? Would it even make a difference?

thanks

Personally, I'd ditch frames in all forms; I rarely find a framed page that couldn't be represented better in linear form.

From your post I'm guessing that you've got a menu or something common to many pages. Where once I might have framed it, now I'd use a server-side script or include, combined with some CSS.
