cross browser frames

windows

Guest
I haven't seen any information on this problem anywhere so hopefuly this post will call attention to it. I'm building a basic frameset but I can't seem to get the frames to lay out the same on IE and NS. I have set all of the margins and borders in the frames and bodies to 0 but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, Netscape doesn't respond well to minor adjustments in the frame size. It seems to only adjust in 5 pixel increment. For example, 200-204 set the frame to the exact same size. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is there an elegant way to solve this problem?<!--content-->IE makes room for the scrollbar in the screen size even if there is none to be had. It is narrower than in NS. Maybe this is what you see.<br />
Make a blank page with a color background and see.<br />
<br />
<html><br />
<head><br />
<title></title><br />
</head><br />
<body bgcolor="#000000"><br />
</body><br />
</html><br />

If there is a scroll then NS makes the room. So the trick seems to be to make the page just a bit more in height for a slight scroll since the space is there anyway.<!--content-->Originally posted by bisqui <br />
