Argh! I could just kick stinkin' HTML!!! HELP ME WITH MY FRAMES LAYOUT, PLEASE!!

Postby Mangafanatic » Thu Jun 02, 2005 5:47 pm

Okay. So I'm building this site, just coding along and minding my own business-- and these HTML demons start messin' with me!!

The little diagram attached gives you the idea of what I want. I have the two black bar above my main part of the site, then I have a mapped navigation image on the left side and then all the information for the pages is sent into the little frame labeled "Frame where everything else goes."

Here's my problem: As I mentioned, my left frame contains ONLY a mapped image that acts as the navigation bar. I want to for that image (400x500) to fit perfectly into the frame with NO SCROLLBARS (ugly scroll bars)!

Can someone please help me? I desperate.

(BTW, I'm ONLY using HTML.)

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Oh! Carp, I once had a frame layout that was really similar to yours... >__< I'll check and see if I have the coding for it saved somewhere. If not, I'm sure that Mithy will know what to do. XD

Eh....I've done frames before but yours look more complicated. How many windows/frames do you have already have..... four? Top, bottom, left, right? I've only done 2 -3.

Yeah, I've got four. I don't think that it SHOULD be complicated. But it's proving to be that way.

Try adding scrolling="no" to your <frame> tag

Also, remember that all html documents have margins to begin with, so if you want the frame to be absolutely 400px then add style="margin:0px;" to your body tag for the inner frame pages

i'll try to do an example.
