Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a problem with stopping my 'mainbody' frame from scrolling. The html below works fine with everything except IE on a Mac. This is driving me mad. I've done it with other sites without problems but no matter what goes into the 'mainbody' frame, if it is bigger than the frame - it scrolls! I can't see what I've done wrong
<br />
<br />
Any help you can give would be very much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
Geoff<br />

</frameset><!--content-->Well if something is too big in it doesnt scroll then you have a problem dont you. I suggest doing a browkser and platform protection before users enter your site or getting something to track your user to see how many actually see this messed up version of your page.<!--content-->Something being too big isn't really the problem. I am using layers to display text which scroll using Javascript, so the frame scrolling isn't necessary.<br />
<br />
Two sites of mine use this technique:<br />
<br />
Anlisco Europe (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.anliscoeurope.com">http://www.anliscoeurope.com</a><!-- m -->) - No problem with this one on Mac IE<br />
<br />
Motorexpo 2003 (beta) (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://motorexpo.mouseup.co.uk">http://motorexpo.mouseup.co.uk</a><!-- m -->) - This is a beta of a site due to go live next week. Navigate to 'Canary Wharf' and I have the same scripting but on Mac IE I get frame scrollbars which screw up the 'flow' of the site. Can't understand why they act differently
<br />
<br />
Geoff<!--content-->OK, I'm getting somewhere. The initial page loaded into the frame as specified in the 'frame' tag doesn't scroll - which is correct. Any subsequent pages loaded into the frame from links on the initial page end up scrolling ?!<br />
<br />
Why doesn't the loaded page take on the attributes of the parent frame?<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Geoff<!--content-->to do this if using ms front page goto frame properties and on the bit where it says show scroll bar select Never and believe me it'll be gone for good<!--content-->
