Default Arguements against using iframes
In a quandry in work, fighting someone over the use of iframes - so I need some decent reasons why not to use them

It relates to a system that requires login, using ajax, etc - so why should iframes not be used

I guess cus we don't like them isn't an appropriate response ...

Can you use the .. "because I'm the boss" answer ?

Hmmm all I can find online is because it isn't supported by the strict doctype ...

Hmm .. clutching at straws ...

are there any issues with SEO ? (which wouldn't come into play in a system requiring login)

nah and to be honest it aint a problem since its technically a "web based application", so seo doesnt come into it

I think a control panel type of environment would be one of the places frames might useful. It can be handy scrolling down a page of settings and still have a menu within easy reach.

True, didn't consider that, but if you don't want to use css frames would be just as functional if maybe a little less elegant. I just spent the last couple of days trying to fix ie bugs in css, so right now frames seem more appealing to me.
