Simulating frames in Portal Pages?

Question

Hi,
How can I simulate frames in Portal.
I want to have a navbar accessible always
, even when I run a report or some other
app. I created a content area, put a hyperlink and set the "display in folder area" attribute and published the content area as a portlet. However, when I click on the link, it ends up occupying the entire page .
Any hints would be appreciated.

Frames are working fine in Portal, unless you are trying to put
them as Portlets(as each portlet is a table cell in content Area)
This is a dynamic Page that works fine for me in both netscape
and IE.
Excuse me, if your question is not regarding javascript frames!
