iFrames do offer a really nice solution, but they are an IE only tag. Although I can't vouch for the latest Netscape, I know that the older versions simply ignore the <iFRAME...> tag, and leave a blank spot in its place.
If you know that your client base will ever only use IE, then go for it. Otherwise, you'll have to avoid the iframe.
