    Default Replacing Frames with CSS

    Greetings!

    I am seriously considering using CSS instead of frames for many resons, and found quite a few fantastic templates for beginners such at myself at CSSLibrary.

    For example these: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/la...-frame-layout/

    I am just wondering how, in effect, would CSS be able to replace frames?

    I am unable to link from one CSS frame"to another with
    Code:
    target="target"
    .

    Is there a different tag for linking within CSS frames?

    CSS can mimic the appearance of frames but, not their function. Javascript, iframes and/or Ajax would be required to do that.

    What I've done (tell me if this is crazy) is put iframes on top of the CSS frames.

    One thing is that a strange is a certain CSS frame overlaps an iframe.

    See the right part here.

    Everything loads nicely, but click on a link in the top menu.

    A bit of text is clipped on the right.

    Any idea how this can be avoided?
