Instant CSS, JS, HTML or DOM documentation

I know I'm showing my age by saying this, but I really don't see the benefit of AJAX in this case. It's basically a frameset powered by javascript, so why not just use a frameset to begin with? It would work in more browsers without issues with back-buttons and take advantage of their built in functionality.

AJAX has its place, but I don't see it here.

Edit: I find it amusing that the documentation for the <frameset> tag is missing :-)

If I am not mistaken the main problem with a frameset would be that the URL in the address bar will never change and therefore you cannot link directly to a page within the frame, i.e. where a user wants to copy the URL and share with a colleague.

You could still use javascript with a hash in the URL to keep track of the current page so that it can be bookmarked.
