Why are frames handy ways of controlling page layout?

As mentioned in the explanation of frames, frames are handy because they let the user load new pages into different frames of the window while other frames don't change. On the other hand, frames can also be incredibly distracting if they are used improperly. A general rule would be to avoid frames unless the page has a comprehensive table of contents that should be visible at all times. I considered using frames with this page for the navigation links at the right, but I finally decided against frames because I was able to write the links as a cell in a table, and there were relatively few of them.
When you browse the web, be aware of how frames are used, and keep your mind open to new ways of using them.
