I've always seen part of my job as a web designer as a client educator. It's probably "my way or the highway" in your situation though. My boss insists on making all of our external links open new windows and it drives me nuts. The best way to handle the situation is to show them why. Chances are they just don't know any better or haven't been educated. Find some sites with frames and show them that they haven't been touched since 1998. Show them how they can't bookmark pages with frames. Show them the disadvantages of using Dreamweaver over Wordpress (or another CMS). That’s unfortunate.
