question about horizontal scrollbar in frames Michael Weis 08-11-2006

Hello all,

as a non-professional in these things, I searched for this topic but found
no satisfying answer:

I have to create a site with 3 frames. (Please no diskussion about the sense
of using frames...)
The main frame has to show a vertical scrollbar if content is bigger than
one display page.
This works well, but:

if I define "scrollbar=auto" then
- in IE also a horizontal scrollbar is shown when content is bigger than
one page (bad)
- in Opera & Firefox only vertical scrollbar is shown (good)

if I define "scrollbar=yes" then

- in IE only a vertical scrollbar is shown (good)
- in IE and FF also a horizontal scrollbar is shown but deactivated (grey)
(bad)

one hint is to delete the DTD statement. This solves the problem but is not
a really good idea, because a lot of my css styles then works different.


Any hints?

Thank you very much,

Michael

We all know what a pain in the neck they are to work with so I won't jump on
yours. Suffice it to say that I'm not sure if an asprin will be any help!
However, just in case ur interested, I'm developing to similar compositional
requirements. The template is still incomplete, but take a look at
www.geoceanis.com for a possible alternative...

Thank you :-) In this case I have no choice.

Looks good, interesting ideas & styles.
For my own site ( http://www.weis-it.de ) I will use css styles
for static parts too. But as a non-professional (in web-authoring)
I have to learn much more about css-based layouts.

Thank you & nice weekend,

Michael
