Frames and Scroll bars - they both hate me

[MstrBob]

:mad: :mad: :mad: I have a website I'm currently working on. I decided, due to the images of the links and such, to use a frame. My problem? Well, there are a lot of important links, so a scroll bar pops up letting me scroll down. But I would REALLY like for that to not be there. Is there any way to make the scroll bar on the right move BOTH frames SIMULTANEOUSLY???

Why not dump the frames, and use either a PHP or SSI include (http://www.webdevfaqs.com/php.php#include) to include the menu?

I would, but this site is going out to a large audience of people with different ranges of compters - i'm looking to keep it all as simple as possible in terms of coding. Which is why I'm using a Frame- a navigation bar on each page would slow it down for people with older modems. So if there is some HTML coding trick to do this, I'm all ears.

No, the only possibility would be with JavaScript, and even if it can be done in that, you'll have a site that does not work for 13% of the internet users. Since both the PHP and the SSI option will happen server-side, the clients browser is not an issue.

So, if I use that PHP or SSI include, will the links all reload each time a new page is accessed? Because if it does, I may just stick with the scroll bars.

Yes, but if you make your pages correctly, the additional page weight should be rather small.
