 Hello,

I am trying and failing to contain the 3 areas in the same box.

The <div id="wrap"> used in the ordinary html pages does not work -
ideas please!

Cheers

Geoff


<html>
<head>
        <title>Untitled</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css" />
</head>

<div id="wrap">

<frameset rows="20%, 80%">
<frame src="names-topbar.htm">

<frameset cols="30%, 70%">
<frame src="names-left.htm">
<frame src="names-right.htm">
</frameset>

</frameset>

</div>


</html>

Because it's a frameset, you can't use any other markup except for frame=
s. =

What's the effect you're going for? (And what do you want to use frames =
at =

all?)
-- =

Rik,

I want the 3 areas to be contained in the same size box as the rest of
the html pages, so that the whole lot takes up say 75% of the browser
window - and is centred too.

Cheers

Geoff

PS I guess I can move away from frames with css?
