ok, so I'm a fairly experienced HTML user, but I've run into a problem and it's not the one you're probably thinking of...<br />
<br />
I've got a page laid out with frames (don't ask why...it just is) and it basically follows the format of the attached image.<br />
<br />
Problem is, the yellow section is an external URL (a free message board) without any size constraints... it scales to the size of the window. <br />
<br />
However, in my frames, that External URL/html doesn't know that it's in a constrained environment, so it just pops up scroll bars instead of making the content fit inside that area. Because this is a message board some threads get very long and so the width is never constant, and because it's not configurable, I can't specifiy a hard width for the message board content.<br />
<br />
Can anybody help or suggest something, please? Is there a element of the FRAME tag I don't know about?<br />
What about IFRAMES? I think I run into the same problem there don't I??<br />
<br />
-Garaphin<!--content-->Do you have a link where we could check the code and see what you have there right now?<!--content-->the HTML is really sloppy right now... I'm just trying to figure out how to pull it off. I didn't include images or the unecessary frames... is that ok?<br />

<br />
-Garaphin<!--content-->I certainly don't care about the vertical scrolling, but it's that horizontal one I want to get rid of. If only that external URL would resize itself to fit within the width of it's frame.<br />
<br />
any help you can give would be great.<br />

I'm not really good with frames but... HTH<!--content-->hmmm.... sorry I should have checked first. That won't work, it will take all the scollbars off! Sorry... i'm sure someone else will be able to help you!<br />
<br />
BTW... It also depends on how that page is setup! He's got his table at width="90%" but i would have thought that it would shrink in your frame!
