Hello,
What do you prefer to your website pages?
Frameset or Table system ?

Frameset system seems to be easier to maintain (for example, if you want to change, menu, background, color, design...)

Table system seems to be moer difficult to create (IE and Netscape difference) and to maintain. But you can submit all your page to Search Engine...

So, Have you got some others remarks to hepl me to choose ?

Thank you a lot in advance

I oftenuse a table system and use SSI for easy updating.

Frames are never neccessary but sometimes they are nice, especially if you have a high number of pages or if you want a visitor to alway see your logo which is often very important if your a professional web designer.

Later,

I agree with both of the above comments. I personally don't like frames, but I know that sometimes they are useful. However, I would recommend tables using SSI to include the nav bars. If you do not know how to do this, the include command looks like:
<!--#include virtual="/path/to/file.html" -->

Just replace /path/to/file.html with the path to the HTML file for the nav bar/header/footer and place the code wherever you want that file to be placed in your document. You may have to rename your page to have a .shtml extension, depending on the host you are on.
