Hi all,

I have a problem that I occurs only now and then.

The background:

I use Dreamweaver to write my code.

The site concerned is small 15 or so pages. The site is framed with a TOP FRAME, LEFT FRAME and a RIGHT FRAME.

I have a page that contains a form for completion by clients.

http://www.jontec.co.uk/clientform.htm

The form works fine aprt from, when it is displayed in the RIGHT FRAME is has o HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR.

If I rewrite the page from scratch it's OK with no HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR.

The site is http://www.jontec.co.uk

If you have a loo at the site and click on CLIENTS you will see my problem.

I do understand that if the browser in not run as a full window this can happen but if it is run in a full window I can not see why the HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR should be there.

Other pages on the site are OK. I do have a problem with a form on the home page which can be accessed from the On-line e-mial icon.

Can anyone see what is wrong with the page. I would like to try and solve this ASAP.


Regards and thanks in advance for any help you can give

Are you referring to http://www.jontec.co.uk/Clientform.htm ?

That page alone needs a browser window that's about 600-650 pixels wide. Add to that the left frame. You'll get a scrollbar even in a maxed window @ 800*600 and below resolution.

Don't make the form elements that big and try to make everything a tad bit more flexible and it will work better. Fixed sizes hurt you. ;-)

Hi Memo

I have curred the HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR on the page concern. I have rewitten the page bit by bit testing as I went along.
I found that once I added the META TAG info for some reason it produced the BAR.

When you said don't make the elements of the form so big, what did you mean, can you explain please. Any help would be good
