Nope, no need for java script and no frames, frames are bad.

Check out php and php includes.

Take care.

What you want is not possible without frames or Javascript.
I understand that you want the navigation links to remain displayed after
clicking on them, so either the body content shows in a frame, or a
Javascript code makes an HTTP request to the server, gets the data and
displays it in the current page.

It is very nice for the sighted this way, but this is its only advantage.
