Hey,

Well well, my first post on this forum!

To the point...

I'm relatively new at using Dreamweaver MX... previously I used a dodgy wysiwyg editor called Trellix... which then sort of merged with Cute... which then disappeared, I believe.

Anyway, with Dreamweaver MX I have made a left frame which has more text than will fit the screen. Poor screen design, I know, but it's semi-temporary.

I can't seem to get it to have a scroll bar that works. I managed to get a vertical scroll bar to appear in the frame but it is... inactive... or something. Either way you can't actually use it to scroll. You can't even click on it. Rediculous!

What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it?

Thanks for your help!

My first bit of advice is don't use frames unless you have to for some reason they get very confusing.And if your just learning I would avoid them.Beside that the search engines don't like them. Layout your page in tables.But if you must this may help.
