HTML Frames - Disadvantages(Cons) of Frames

1. One of the main disadvantage of frames is search engines will not deal with them properly. i.e, search engines (including most popular ones) will not index pages containing frames as its hard for them to search for a specific content and move backwards to check to which frameset each page belongs to and retrieve all the pages in the frameset.

2. Its hard to navigate through pages in frames when we have more than two or three frames.

3. Its difficult to print the content of all frames when compared to a normal web page.

4.. Some browsers doesn't support frames, so we need to place the content seperately for the people who doesn't have frames using <noframes> ... </noframes>

5. We cannot bookmark individual pages using browser's Favourites Menu.
