Hi,
I have just started with HTML,
I have a page with 2 frames in it, I want their widths to be fixed, this means that if I resize my explorer window, I need horizontal scroll bars to appear automatically.
I treid with the % option in frameset, also with the actual pixel size but does not seem to work.
I have set scroll as auto, but that seems to affect the vertical scroll bars.
I want to use just HTML...how do I do this?

Thanks !

This is the basic version for dividing the screen as follows:

- 250 pixel width for the left
- Rest for the right

<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<frameset cols="250, *">
<frame src="left.html">
<frame src="right.html">
</frameset>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>



There are of course other options for setting borders etc. but I think you get my point...

Ciao, Andreas

You can add the following attributes to the FRAMESET tag to either enable to disable scrolling:

<FRAMESET SCROLLING="AUTO">

you can also use "yes" or "no" depending on if you want the scroll bars to always be visible or never be visible.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies, but my code already looks like what Andreas has given, here it is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Client</TITLE>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=EUC-JP">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META name="GENERATOR" content="IBM WebSphere Studio Homepage Builder Version 6.5.0.0 for Windows">
<META http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET cols="250,*">
<FRAME src="MainMenu.html" Align="left" name="menu" scrolling="auto" noresize="yes">
<FRAME src="SubMenu.html" Align="left" name="submenu" scrolling="auto",noresize="yes">
<NOFRAMES><P>You do not have frames enabled</P></NOFRAMES></FRAMESET>
</HTML>


Now in the right frame I have a lot of buttons, labels etc , which maybe 3-4 in one line.
If I resize my browser, the label/button on the far right sort of rolls back onto the next line, and I do not get a horizontal scroll bar.

What else do I need to do?
