i made some frames on my website, and i used the % of page to size them, the problem i'm seeing is that when i have a different pixel setting on my monitor my control bar is getting cut off.

how do i code the frames with exact pixels for the first column, but general size for the rest, so that the last column, which is empty space will be the only thing that changes depending on the monitor setting?

thanks

Use a * to divide up the ramaining space.

cols="200,*"

yes the 200 is px.

you should also specify noresize if you want to keep the frame at 200px.

and if im telling it 200 px why would it resize?

Here is an example...

<frame name="test" src="test.htm" noresize="noresize"></frame>

You would use it if you don't want your users to resize the frame on you.

Becuse your code is broken. Eg you got your <noframes> section outside your <frameset> and are missing important things like doctype and charencoding.

It should look something like this

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title></title>
</head>
<frameset cols="100, 1*" border="0"> <!-- border="0" is a bugfix for IE, NS as well as Opera -->
<frame name="nav" src="nav.html" frameborder="0" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" scrolling="auto">
<frame name="main" src="home.html" frameborder="0" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" scrolling="auto">
<noframes>

Try this frameset...
<frameset cols="19.8%,75%,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame src="leftside.html" name="leftside" scrolling="NO" noresize="noresize" marginewidth="3" marginheight="10">
<frameset rows="80,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="topofthepage.html" name="topofthepage" scrolling="NO" noresize="noresize" marginewidth="3" marginheight="10">
<frame src="rightside" name="rightside" noresize="noresize" marginewidth="3" marginheight="10">
</frameset>
<frame src="rightside" name="rightside" scrolling="NO" noresize="noresize" marginewidth="3" marginheight="10">
</frameset>

Hope I got all your info right. :)
