My user wants the page heading to remain at the top while the data within a chart scrolls. I have put the heading in a frame and the data in a second frame below it. How do I get the heading frame to scroll to the right when scrolling the data in the second frame to the right?

scrolling frames together

Cant you design the page content to fit so that the page never scrolls to the right?? This would solve your problem and preserve the patience of your visitors.
Horizontal scrolling in a webpage is generally considered to be a big no-no wheras vertical scrolling is generally accepted and pretty much expected in a site. Tony

To synchronize the scrolling of two frames
You can use
setInterval
to periodically read the viewport coordinates of one frame and then
scroll the other frame to that position with
frameReference.scrollTo(x, y)
in NN4, NN6, Opera4/5 and IE4+.
In NN4 and Opera4/5 the code set up in the frameset document works even
when the frames are on a different host, with NN6 and IE4+ the frameset
needs to come from the same host as the frames.

var scrollTop = frame0.document.body.scrollTop;
var scrollLeft = frame0.document.body.scrollLeft;
}
else {
var scrollTop = frame0.pageYOffset;
var scrollLeft = frame0.pageXOffset;
}
frame1.scrollTo (scrollLeft, scrollTop);
