Alternative to Frames to keep part of the page stationary

I'm trying to avoid frames if possible. What are alternatives I can use to keep parts of the page stationary? (like a list of links or the heading info)
Thanks, I appreciate the help.

you could try using an iframe. its pretty much a table that you import an html page into. you can have scrolling and links that bring up other pages in that iframe

You have a few options apart from frames.

In simple HTML terms create a template page with your static content.
Everytime you want to create a new page start from this template.

You could code the links into javascript and include the script on every page.

The best way would be to use includes. If you don't have PHP then you could use SSI.

I would recommend that you see if you can use PHP.
You can then create pages such as headers or navbars and include them into other pages.
