Well, that is true. They are other n number of problems while implementing the frames such as propogation of events. In your case, you can make of use of div/table to do this.

Yes you are right.. We dont use Framesets now... Reason : 1. It is very hard to handle Javascript Events when there is more than one frame in the document. We have to reference controls from other pages only using
window.parent. For example : If you just willing to change the text of a control with some operation of another frame, you need to hook the textbox object in Window.parent object and then get its reference. So we are unnecessarily creating complexity :^). 2. In Asp.NET we rely with Server side events most of the time. In case of Frames, 2 or more document is created, so if you postback a page, u cant reference the other pages. So we need to forcefully postback other forms to get reference in the server. Also forcing postback of 2 pages simultaneously will create two requests to the server. So you need create custom form element to ensure everything goes in a single postback, which means more complexity :(( . 3. Frames looks very odd and unprofessional to me. X| Err.. Although, That might be only my problem... So I would recommend to make layout using Table.<table style="width:100%;border:0px">
<tr>
<td style="width=30%">
//Page in the right side.
</td>
<td>
//Page in the left side.
<td>
</tr>
</table>You can create the same page layout easily using table. If you are worried about the splitter control.. you can find a lots of them easily by searching in google. Or you can also create one yourself. So personally I suggest you to avoid Framesets totally.:cool:
