our company uses many different vendors websites. we'd like to create a that shows links to all vendors' websites at the top or side and then display the vendors website below or to the side. I'm certain we could do this using the frames tag, but previous reading says we should avoid it. Anyone know why? Is there any other way to solve this problem? We cannot change the vendor's websites.
edit - a couple links i found. they say search engines don't search properly. this doen't matter in my case. Navigation could be harder for the user. Some browsers are incompatible (but does say which ones).
