 Frames need to die. The problem is that there is a lot of business logic and
input code that is tied into the current frameset. We definitely want to move
away from that, but this won't be a simple process.


No, but it has to start somewhere.



 Ideally, we would be Section 508 compliant too, which would help things
degrade gracefully to less featured clients and devices.



Noticed folks discussing javascript vs non-javascript. It should be
possible to let the browser "choose", same as on my site where you get
a red box with "no javascript" or a green one with "javascript
enabled".  However, I believe if we're talking menus, we can just go
to CSS2 columns and refresh to a different menu on a selection vice
open a javascript submenu.  May be slower, but will work with any CSS2
capable browser.  Now those not CSS2 capable, well ...

Also, for a popup javascript calendar, should be easy enough to call
"popupcalendar" (http://www.mojavelinux.com/projects/popupcalendar/),
a GPL/LGPL javascript calendar.  No sense reinventing the wheel.
