seriously, first time i used frames was when i was on my school's web team in 7th grade. back then, i had no idea, but eventually we dropped the frames for an intricate table design.
since then i've never used frames. our site DOES, however, use an iframe for scrolling the news section, cause having an infinitely expanding news section would screw up the design of the rest of the page. Regardless, iframes aren't nearly as intrusive as frames are, as they are just like any other dynamic element on a page (images, tables) and move with the page when you scroll, etc. not only that, they are an approved standard by the w3c (word wide web consortium)
www.harker-robotics.org <- iframes done right
oh, and yeah. about the SSI includes thing. problem with SSIs is that you can't see what you get until you upload it. if you've got a WYSIWYG editor that keeps track of entire sites at a time (like Adobe GoLive) you can use the templates feature, and whenever you change the template, it auto-updates every paged tied into the template. best of both worlds - synchronized code, and previewing without uploading.
