Re: simulate frames

[Chris Coyier]

That’s a great solution Edwin!

I think frames is a really outdated solution for something like this, there are tons of ways of handling it without using them. If the content in each of the main areas is small enough that it would be reasonable to load them all at once, you could use something like the tabbed box example I posted:

Instead of literally having "tabs", you could use CSS positioning to put the selectors in your left sidebar, but the content would still swap out instantly like in the example.
