vertical scrollbar in frameset across all frames

[GQuan]

I'm trying to make a specific page that has one large scrollbar on the right hand side of the page, scrolling up and down across all the frames in the frameset. But atm, I can only seem to make scrollbars for each individual frame.

Any advice?

In each of your frames:

<style>
BODY { overflow: hidden }
</style>

Don't add this code to your main page which holds the frameset.

Really? Thanks.

The code currently looks like this

<frameset rows="*" cols="80,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="frameleft.htm" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
  <frameset rows="80,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
    <frame src="frametop.htm" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
    <frame src="index.htm" name="mainFrame">
  </frameset>
</frameset>

Where should I add that code?

Hey, thanks so much for your help.

I may have read your post wrong, but to me it says basically 'How can I make a framed page not work like a framed page'.

The answer to that should be fairly obvious.



Chris.

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?

Yes, but I am confused as to how and where to add the code.

A framed page would be appropriate for this instance. As those with slower connections would not have to reload what they just saw on the last page.

You add the code in the HEAD section of each page.

Hope this helps,

Yeah, i agree with Chris... maybe you should reconsider using frames.

or look into iframes perhaps.

Hi,

I am having the same problem. I am working on an old frameset with about 4 asp pages in it and it has a lot of messy code in it. I really don't want to have to convert it all unless i have too.

I have tried the

<style>
BODY { overflow: hidden }
</style>

and it doesn't seem to work for me. All I want is one big scrollbar down the side.

If anyone has any more suggestions, I would be very grateful,

Thanks,

Katherine
