You have not proven why "this use case [...] is best served by framesets" either. Actually, framesets alone don't answer your requirement, you have to add: - a bit of JavaScript to use location.replace(...) in your links to simulate a "single page application" - a bit of something to "block bookmarking" (user cannot use right click -> open this frame in a new tab/window); unless we don't have the same definition for "no internal HTML bookmarking" I say that your use case is best served by AJAX (à la Google Document Reader, just without the history trick using the location's hash). -- Thomas Broyer /tɔ.ma.bʁwa.je/
