Webdesign and frames

[emus]

I've heard that it's generally considered a bad practice
to use frames or iframes in a website.

Is the above statement true? I understand that one
might land only on a certain part of the website if
the frame contents are indexed on google for example.
That is one disadvantage, but sometimes it's difficult
to get around frames.

What's the best solution?


Thanks,

emus

frames are very very often annoying. sometimes they work, but more often than not, its annoying. css (if ie actually properly supported it) works a bit better...

iframes, if used properly, aren't that bad. but when its just to stick a page inside a page like you would with frames, then its annoying...

Basically, use them if you need to, but actually think about it, and then halve the size of your browser, and think if you would still want to read it using them...
