I need to know how to tell the browser to apply a scroll bar(if need be, like if browser window is too small)to a page with multiple frames.[nbsp][nbsp]Anyone know the source code(especially where to put it)or the dreamweaver command.

thanks,
cina

In the frame index page (the page that assembles the individual frames), for the page being called:

<FRAME SRC=&quot;frame_top.html&quot; NAME=&quot;topframe&quot; SCROLLING=&quot;auto&quot; NORESIZE=&quot;yes&quot; MARGINHEIGHT=&quot;0&quot; MARGINWIDTH=&quot;0&quot;>

thanks dan,
I'm about to go try it, however im not exactly sure wheather to put that code in each individual frame line(as it seems to read in your message), or in the frameset lines, because i want the entire page to be scrollable, with all frames.[nbsp][nbsp]I'll see what works.[nbsp][nbsp]

I you see this and can specify, I would appreciate.

thanks again,
cina[nbsp][nbsp]

It's in the <frame ...> lines, not the <frameset ...> lines -- add it for any page that you want set to auto-scroll (i.e. scroll bars added only if necessary due to length of page).[nbsp][nbsp]Scrolling can be ugly if frames are not sized and spaced appropriately to allow for different browsers and resolutions...
