Them Darned Scrollbars

[orionburcham]

I'm working on a site with frames. here's an early base test:

http://www.nickelcadmium.net/show/ob2/test1_frameset.html

I'm having two problems with this layout:

1. When you resize the window, the frame widths auto-scale. I need the width to stay fixed. Better yet, I'd love to be able to designate which frames are fixed and which can scale.

2. I need two of the frames to scroll vertically, but I need to get rid of the scrollbars. I'd like the user to navigate the rightmost two tabs only by scrolling with the mouse wheel.

I've never run into this before. I know that you can set the scrolling method for each frame (on, off, or auto). turning this 'off' will kill the scrollbar, but of course it also kills the scrolling. Does anyone know a good solution, via html or script?

thanks a lot-

1. Define a fixed height.

2. Use absolute positioning to place a blank element with the color of the page background over the scrollbar? :)
