I preface my question with a warning that I'm a paper type of layout designer who may have gotten himself in too deep with the Web design.
I've set up my magazines Web site, which contains four frames. One, the masthead, which will always appear at the top. Two, the navbar area, which will also always be present, on the left, below the masthead. Three, the content window, to which the navbar and other links call info.
I need to insert some code in dreamweaver or directly in the .htm file that will automatically size the browser window when people load the magazine's Web page. The dimesions should be 750 pixels wide by about 600 deep. Otherwise, the entire navbar doesn't appear. When content doesn't fit in the main content window, a scroll bar appears there. But since the initial content in that particular window always fits, unless someone has their browser sized to something ridiculous like 750 by 100. But the navbar rarely does, and no scroll bar appears.
In the interest of making the site accesible to everyone, even those with really low resolution settings for their screen, it might even make sense not to open a window that might be too large for their screen. In this case, I need to know how to put a scroll bar into the left frame (navbar). But it would need to appear on the left-hand side of the frame so that it does'nt look like it's in the middle of the page.
