ok there is the link to what im working on. my main concern is:
the site was designed in 1280X1024 resolution, the site looks fine in that resolution but in others looks too big and thus losing the layout i intended. Is there some sort of code i could instert that would eliminate this problem, maybe scale the htm file to the persons resolution?

my second problem is the header frame and the frame on the right (the knight) arent intended to scroll, i took the scroll bars off but cant find a way to lock them so they cant scroll. also i want to put a scroll bar on the right of the page that controls the far left frame

third problem, when i click the links at the top, they load into the header, im trying to get to get them to load in the entire page, and one of them load in the text box (rules)

I know this is alot to ask, but i would appreciate it very much if someone could lend me some info =)

Well, first off... FRAMES! *lets out blood-curtling scream*

Secondly, this website would REALLY benefit from a conversion to CSS. ALL of what you ask would be INCREDIBLY simple with CSS. Here is a link to a simple tutorial, it takes about an hour, and after completing it, you would have all the knowlege you need to convert your website. http://www.westciv.com/style_master/...roduction.html

Now, with that out of the way, IF you decide not to change to CSS (which would be STRONGLY advised by just about everyone here) There are solutions to your problems.

First question : well I run 1024x768 and it looks just fine to me. I don't know of anything to change that the way you suggest (without using CSS) but I imagine a Javascript guru could pull it off... but wouldn't because of how easy it would be with CSS

second question : I don't believe this is possible. (without CSS) are you noticing a trend here? check the tutorial. I CAN solve the last problem without CSS though.

Third Question : to make the link load the ENTIRE page, add the following. <A HREF="your destination" TARGET="_top"> That will load over the whole page. If you only want it to load into the center frame where content is, target that frame.



CSS is really easy and really advantageous. I suggest you look into it. Hope i was at least SOME help.

Frames, bold choice...

I noticed you got rid of the scrollbar to both frames. Now I can't scroll the main content! Try this:

<frame name="contents" target="main" src="http://www.benoitandbenoit.com/bodysite.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="yes" noresize>

Also, when you do src=pathway/to/page/ you do not need to do the whole address. Instead of http://www.benoitandbenoit.com/bodysite.htm try just bodysite.htm .

If you want the layout to look good in 800x600 you would have to start over with the layout and make the images smaller from the start, then in 1024x768 you would have empty space. This is the way most layouts are done. Or you could make the new 800x600 layout and then have a link to the 1024x768 one you have here.

For your third problem you need to use your targeting. You've already named them banner, contents, and main. In your link try-

<A href="link/to/what/you/want" target="content/or/banner/or/main">link</A>

hope I helped

ok, you win. time for me to step in the the new age and try css thanks hehe
