I'm having trouble with frames and I was hoping someone could help me out.
http://www.hostultra.com/~eba/index.htm
If you're viewing it in anything other than 800x600 it probably looks messed up. Anywayz...as you can see, the menu on the left stretches beyond the page. I know I could always take the "noscroll" off and that'd fix it, but if i do that, it would result in the scroll bar stretching the entire page up (see the source).
I was wondering if there was any way I could either make the scroll bar only work for a certain part down, or if someone could help me break it down into more frames so that I could do this easier. Thanks for any help.

I don't see what you're talking about. The only scrollbar is for the body of the site. Nothing runs off the side of the page in any direction that I can see. Tried in both 800x600 & 1024x768 (no scrollbar at all).

i know there isn't for the menu, I have it on "noscroll" or something like that (not going to look). If I activate the scrollbar then it'll have a bar cut through my banner. And your window may not have that many bars on top as mine does or something.

Sorry, but I can't make any sense of what you're saying. Want to explain it again?

I don't see it either.
The page looks good at 800 x 600, and apart from a little extra space at at the left of the body text at 1024 x 768, it looks ok...no scrollbars.
what resolution are you viewing the page at that causes the scrollbar concern?

no, there is no scrollbar. That's my whole point. If I added the scrollbar (cause their will be more options on the left frame) then the scrollbar will go up THROUGH the picture, interfering with my banner and the title.

I may be pretty late at replying to this one, so just ignore my post if you already have it figured out...
Maybe I could suggest using IFrames rather than conventional frames?
You could leave your entire Banner, Navigation Bar, and Background intact and have an IFrame floating with your information in the middle.
IFrames are a gift from God in my case, they've solved all my problems with frames :)
I would link you to a good tutorial site but I don't have the links at the moment, contact me via E-mail @ Rickb109@aol.com if you need any help :)

I think I see now, Taking a quick glance at the code, I think it's because you specified Cols before Rows. You'll need to rearrange you frameset code, but that may mean extra work with the images.
The Iframe idea may be a quicker and easier solution.
Looking at the geometry of the page, Styling it with CSS would be the best option.
