ok. heres the deal. Three frames. scrolling set to auto, no, and yes. I expect that in the frames where scrolling was set to no, and auto...there would be no scrollbar. In the frame where it is set to yes, I expect a scrollbar. OK this works as expected. But in (see the code):<br />
topframe scrolling=yes<br />
leftframe scrolling =auto<br />
rightframe scrolling =no<br />
<br />
The red line in the leftframe is the background color of that individual page, but the table back is white. Technically the table should span 100% of the frame, and therefore no red should be visible. The only way I have found to make the browser to get rid of the extra space reserved for the scrollbar is to assign scrollbar="no" as seen in the right frame. <br />
Anyone know a way to alleviate this problem?<br />

Kevin<!--content-->I recreated your situation and see whats happening. I also tried Scroll="no" in the body tag of the page and found it works in IE only, but you may as well write scrolling=no in your frameset as that is what it is essentually doing and you are looking for a work-around for this. (which I might add am as lost as to if there is one as you are)
