Avoiding Left-Right Scrolling

We have made nice frames and I've solved one problem with the size of the main frame, but I still want to avoid l-r scrolling requirement of the pages as they come up in the main frame. Up-down is okay.

How do I make the page resize to fit the frame, depending upon the settings of the browser opening it? Is it even possible?


I will greatly appreciate any suggestions regarding the page, BTW.
 
Hello BBumstead!

I don't think it's possible, at least I've never seen anything solving this. There may be some CSS that could do that but I don't know any.

In my opinion (and experience as well) there is no any solution :(

Good Luck!
 
Unless your using Flash that resizes to a certain width % you can only do images as far as I know.

For images it would be:

<img src=&quot;image.jpg&quot; width=&quot;??%&quot;> This would keep the images to a certain % of your total frame size which in turn would make the images smaller when you had a smaller screen size and thus not produce a scroll bar. As far as text goes it will wrap.

Images tend to loose their clarity with this technique. You may want to try it though.

If this solves your question please vote for me= ). If not let me know more about the problem.

Yes man it is possible.

Its very simple method. Open the page in dreamweaver and resize the frame width by 515 pixels. Thats all your page will not come with horz scroll.

Try this out and get back to me
