Lesson 5, Chapter 10

In Chapter 10 of Creating a Web Site we learned about multipart pages.  Lots of information on types of workarounds to use when you want the same element to appear on each page of your site.  My biggest gripe with the chapter is that the majority of it dealt with working with frames, yet the authors seemed to never miss an opportunity to point out why frames are not desirable in modern web design.  So why, why spend so much time confusing me with this information?
