You don't need a body at all unless you use the tag.  In all honesty you really should create a section with nothing but navigation to the links of the rest of the page. &nbsp;There are still people out there who browse web sites without frames.<br /><br />Sample page, cut and snip if you want:<br /><br />----- Begin cut -----<br /><!doctype html public &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN&quot;><br /><html><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<head><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<title>SNACKS - SOUTH WALES SUPERGROUP featuring Simon Teague and Firass Sumrein</title><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<meta name=&quot;description&quot; content=&quot;Snacks - Metal / Ambient Band from S.Wales&quot;><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;snacks, music, simon, firass, fizz, liz, nik, minas, emma, tom, teeg, teague, sumrein, downes, south wales&quot;><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;</head><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<frameset cols=&quot;52%,48%&quot;><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<frame src=&quot;frontpage.html&quot;><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<frameset rows=&quot;75%,25%&quot;><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<frame src=&quot;discography.html&quot;><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<frame src=&quot;description.html&quot;><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</frameset><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;</frameset><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<noframes><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<body><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<p>This page uses frames... try these links</p><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=&quot;frontpage.html&quot;>Home</a> |<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=&quot;discography.html&quot;>Discography</a> |<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=&quot;description.html&quot;>About us</a> |<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=&quot;mailto:someemailaddress@yourisp.extension&quot;>Contact us</a><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</body><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;

Also theres the question of whether or not to put the META stuff in the subdirectories.


If you want those pages to be found by a search engine then by all means add the meta description and keywords as well as a thorough title defining what it is.  Say if it's the discography page, don't use the same title as the frameset page, but change it to say it's the discography section of the site.

Hope that helps.  Still have your old site you guys did on my drive though, kind of funny I found this thread.

The key to building the better web sites is to develop them for text only, no javascript, no frames, and no graphics.  If the site you build still looks good without that, you're halfway home.  One site I rebuilt had java applets all over it... if the computer didn't have the right java runtime it choked, so I changed the java applet around checking for a version of the JRE, if it turned out to be false or a bad number it just displayed a graphic and didn't do anything else.  I started doing this type of stuff a few years back but then I've known html like most know their multiplication tables.

Anyway, it's late and I'm exhausted.
