Need advice

[Madhusudan Singh]

Hi
I am in the process of "beautifying" a web site based on PHP + XTemplate. I
wish to include a fixed left navigation bar on almost all the pages. I have
a xtpl file that defines the header of each HTML document. If I use
FRAMESET etc. directives in this, how do I make sure that the main page is
shown in as a window.frame[1] kind of object (borrowing some terminology
from javascript) ?

How does the above change if the contents of the navigation bar are a
result of a SQL query ?

Thanks,

MS
