What are good alternatives to Frames?

    I am trying to have a very thin frame at the bottom or header portion, when a user clicks a headline on the news aggregator website. The the target page will be displayed but, i would like to remind the user that you have arrived here through my website and would like to give him an option to return back to my website.

    Thanks

    If you make a simple link, no frames involved, no opening new windows, etc., the user's back button works just fine.

    cheers,

    IMHO, using frames is already the best way.
    I imagine keep on having to click "Back" on the browser to go back to your site after reading each headline would be very annoying.

    Technically, you could also store the content of the news on your server, so that when user clicks on a headline, the content is served from your server. But I don't think it's legal / ethical to do that.
