As a general rule, Frames aren't a good choice for web design. It makes navigation more difficult. Things pop up in strange places sometimes, and it makes targeting your links hella difficult.
What you can do to get the look of frames is to have a navigation bar on the side or the top in a table, and then the body of your page in another table. The nav bar gets cached and doesn't have to load each time a new page loads.
