Frames question

I have a web page that consists of four frames. Because I want this to be seamless, the frames have no borders and do not scroll.

However, people viewing this page at 400x600 cannot scroll down to view the bottom of the page.

How can I have my internal frames set to scrolling="no", yet have the whole frameset scroll?

I assume it's a nested frames thing, but I can't get it to work.

Here's the page:

<FRAMESET ROWS=&quot;*,44&quot; scrolling=no frameborder=no framespacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>

<FRAMESET COLS=&quot;32%,43%,25%&quot;>
<FRAME SRC=&quot;left.html&quot; scrolling=no frameborder=no framespacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>

<FRAME SRC=&quot;cover400a.html&quot; scrolling=no frameborder=no framespacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>

<FRAME SRC=&quot;rightframe1.html&quot; scrolling=no frameborder=no framespacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>



</FRAMESET>

<FRAME SRC=&quot;bottom.html&quot; scrolling=no frameborder=no framespacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
<NOFRAMES>



<BODY>
<P><I>This document requires a browser that can view frames.</I></P>

</BODY>

</NOFRAMES>


</FRAMESET>

400x600?? What are they using an etch-a-sketch

--you could use an iframe for the content that you would want to scroll but if they are using 400x600 then there is a good possibility they wont have the most current browsers which are what an iframe would work on.

hew...or you see where it says scrolling=no, just change that to yes for the frame that you want scrolling and for that frame set your background to be fixed, heres how to do that
faq215-2573

the second suggestion would probably work best [soapbox]

Thanks -- I know that nobody uses 400x600, but I have to fix this anyway.

I think all I need to know is whether my entire frameset can be nested into a &quot;parent&quot; frame, which would scroll, while none of the &quot;child&quot; frames would.

Hello -- I couldn't use iframe because I need to be compatable with Netscape 4x.

I scrapped the whole frames design and re-did the page using tables only.
