Re: Dos and Don’ts of Design

You could use a position: fixed; on the sidebar that’ll follow when you scroll. Alot of people tend to instantly dislike a website if it uses frameset, even though it’s totally valid. But then again position: fixed; won’t work for users on IE5.5/win (haha).

Check out these pages for some mental digestion:

  When it comes to the issue of using framesets nowadays, I would try alot of things before I’d turn to them (again, like back in ’97). They’re not just good for you. Like a cigarette.
