About frames in HTML

[arunjp]

Hi !
I have a page that display five frames. I have specified the size of each frame in pixels, but on different machines the display of the frames is different. I guess this is because of different resolution of the machine. Could any one tell me whether frame sizing in pixel or frame sizing in percentage should be the preferred one. Early reply is appreciated.

Thanks
AJP

Depends on whether you want it to be a fixed size or a relative size.

If you specify number of pixels, then it will be that number of pixels, regardless of what the monitor setting is. If you set it for a total of 800 pixels wide, but the client only has 640, then you're gonna get scrollbars.

If you specify percentages, then it will adjust dynamically to different monitor sizes and look pretty much the same on most monitors.
