Q698 How can I output half a page to one frame and the other half to another frame?

The only Client Side JavaScript solution that springs to mind is outputting the contents of each frame using JavaScript:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function update() {
    window.top.document.open();
    window.top.document.writeln("Some content I want to write goes here");
    window.top.document.close();

    window.top.document.open();
    window.top.document.writeln("Some content I want to write goes here");
    window.top.document.close();
}
//--></SCRIPT>

<FRAMESET ROWS="50%,*" onLoad="update()">
<FRAME SRC="about:blank" NAME="top">
<FRAME SRC="about:blank" NAME="bottom">
</FRAMESET>

As you can see this is one page that contains half the output on one frame, and the other half in the other. This would get seriously complicated very quickly.
