There's no reason this shouldn't work if you're setting up frames correctly 
in HTML.

For example, say you had something like this as your index_html:

<frameset rows="*,75">
    <frame src=http://server/path/content_method>
    <frame src=http://server/path/footer_method>
</frameset>

If you have dtml methods called content_method and footer_method at the 
path specified, it should work fine.

If your problem is targeting frames with your links, look into the 
name="foo" attribute of <frame> or the target="foo" attribute of <a>.

If that's not what you're doing or there is some fancier intention at work, 
it's tough to say what's going wrong unless you post your code and/or some 
details on what problems and/or errors you're seeing.
