CrashGordon I am afraid in web design no one is right and no one is wrong, the only thing i would say is, frames do not look good, especially if they are smaller and are stuck at the bottom of the page, and it is harder to navigate around cos they ahave their own set width and height and it is annoying. But if it works for you then that is fine, just think of your pilots and what they would prefer,.
