Resizing problem with HTML frames

OK, I've started to develop a Flash-enhanced website. I've never used frames in a website, I've never liked them or deemed them necessary. But for this site I'm considering using frames, because there is one section on the site I want to target links to, without having the rest of the page reload. <br />
<br />
The page is set up as follows (sorry but I'm not able to upload a sample yet, so I will describe it as clear and concise as possible for you!). <br />
<br />
There are 3 horizontal frames: <br />
1. The top frame is just a Flash navigational header. <br />
2. The middle frame has 3 sub-frames:<br />
2a. Left sub-frame (the page I want the navigational buttons to target; the 2b and 2c must remain static, this is why I wanted to use frames instead of tables in a single HTML page)<br />
2b. Middle sub-frame that must must remain static<br />
2c. Right sub-frame that must must remain static<br />
3. The bottom frame is a static graphic. <br />
<br />
My problem is that when I resize the browser, from full screen to smaller, the top frame (frame #1) resizes vertically, in effect hiding the lower portion of the navigational header within. Yet I coded it to not resize!<br />
<br />
Also, when resizing the browser smaller horizontally... the far left target sub-frame (frame #2a) in the middle horizontal frame gets smaller and auto scrollers pop up within the sub-frame. Is there a way to ensure that the sub-frame doesn't resize, and the text just wraps down? <br />
<br />
Here is the code for my page: <br />
<br />
<frameset rows="94,422,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0"> <br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"header.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" noresize name="header"> <br />
<frameset cols="376,174,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0"> <br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"news.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" noresize name="main"> <br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"right.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" noresize name="right"> <br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"right_empty.html" scrolling="no" noresize name="right_empty"> <br />
</frameset> <br />
<frame src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"footer.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" noresize name="footer"> <br />
</frameset> <br />
<br />
I hope this was easy to follow. I appreciate any help you can offer! Thanks.<!--content-->My friend I "think" I understand what you are saying and doing...the problem is that you are resizing in a fixed resolution and not resizing the screen resolution itself...use your screen properties to adjust the resolution...otherwise a percentage on your frame sizes may be the answer.<br />
<br />
if this isn't what your looking for please expand...<!--content-->Actually, no... I meant, I was trying to make the dimensions of certain frames fixed if the user tried to resize their browser smaller on their desktop. I'm not sure if HTML is capable of doing the following, but this is what I'm seeking to do:<br />
<br />
Full browser window:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.vio-lence.com/site_frames1.jpg">http://www.vio-lence.com/site_frames1.jpg</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
This is what happens when the browser is resized smaller:<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.vio-lence.com/site_frames2.jpg">http://www.vio-lence.com/site_frames2.jpg</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
Does that make clearer sense?<!--content-->I am trying to make all of my pictures on my site the same size. All have been edited to use on site. However, some pictures load larger than others and I'm clueless on how to fix. Does anyone have an answer? Thanks!<!--content-->
