Is there a real need to use the IFrame or frames, as it make it harder for users to bookmark pages
within your site?

Plus search engines will generate links to the actual pages that would normally load within the
IFrame or Frameset, thereby users coming to your site from a search engine, the pages will load
without header, footer, navigation, etc.
