I used frontpage (ya, ya, i know) to make a site and i got it looking pretty decent considering how good I am with graphics and such. Anyway, I had to use frames to do what i wanted because my html knowledge is limited. There is a header, left, and center frame and i want to center them horizontally depending on browser size. I could get the header to do it but the left frame wouldnt move from the left part of the screen. I was reading something about setting the margin width to -w/2 but that didnt seem to work for me. Any help is appreciated. The page is <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gtilubricants.com">www.gtilubricants.com</a><!-- w --><br />

thanks<!--content-->nope, not possible. you need to make your frame 100% instead of a static width. then in your pages that load in the frames need to be centered in the html in those.<!--content-->How do I make them 100%? Sorry, I don't know much html.<!--content-->well I was going to say use 100% but you have a frame in there that you don't even use. that is messing things up.<br />
<br />
just do it this way<br />

</frameset><!--content-->Heres the deal... the main page and the products page are put together differently than the rest. I wanted to make the mouse rollover the pictures highlight the effect on the nav bar so i just extended the table to the rest of the page (I didn't know another way). So on those 2 pages there are only 2 frames instead of 3. On those pages i can get it to center. However, on the other ones i cant get the left nav bar to move in unison with the header (I got it to move a just a tad once)<!--content-->then I have no clue. that is the hard part about frames. it makes things messy.<!--content-->
