Default Help finding why search engine doesn't show my site's frames

Hi

I have a problem caused when searching for my company in a search engine,
becuase the result only returns a page within my site and not the home page.

What's happening is that because my site uses frames, and because the search
engine doesn't return the home page, the user only sees the contents of the
main body of the linked page which ought to appear in a frame.

Is this a common problem, and one which I can easily work around?

Thanks for any advice.

Sandy

Yup, Google for "why frames are evil".

Yup, get rid of the frames.
