How about overflow-y:scroll? (PoC: http://rimantas.com/bits/cssscroll.html ). However I do not agree that this kind of navigation necessarily "provides level of usability higher than any other method of presenting content of such type". > (Of course even if it is possible to do it without frames, new standards > ought not to require that perfectly functional, legal, working code be > rewritten on pain of standards non-compliance.) New standards to not require anyone to rewrite anything. Older standards stay valid. Why not just use HTML4 with frameset DTD? <…> Regards, Rimantas -- http://rimantas.com/
