iframes

should I use iframes if I want SEO?

I have a site that basically has one page and uses an iframe to show 25 different pages of information.

Am I missing out with search engines with this configuration? It sure is a clean way to build a site from a functionality standpoint, but I need good search results(obviously) and I am willing to change, if necessary.

Also, I am trying to trap the error that occurs when a page is requested that would normally be in an iframe. The sub page modifies the title of the shell page with JScript. I am trying to redirect to the shell page if the sub page is opened without the shell page, but I can't seem to get it to work. Guess I need to learn something about JScript. I use VBScript all the time because it is easier and I have some VB background.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm not sure about the JavaScript engine thing, but when it comes to the Indexing of Iframes i haven't had any luck there, i would advise to try and find another solution for fetching the content you have.

yeah, I was afraid you might say that. I will start converting them, which eliminates the JScript issue, anyway.

Thank you.
