Frames pages.. - 2/14/2002 16:19:01
I have created a site for our real estate company. Other than the first page everything else is a frame page..
Opening page:
http://www.advantagecoastalrealestate.com/
Because we use a search engine (for properties) that is local mls (multiple listing service) there is no way to avoid frames..
Here is one of the fame pages:
http://www.advantagecoastalrealestate.com/contact.htm
My problem.. I can keep the frames horrizontally together (justified to the left) with different monitor sizes and resolutions. Vertically is totally a different matter..
When I remove tool bars (make the visible height larger) the frames start to separate and my graphics do not line up.. also, with screen resolutions finer that 800 x 600 the site tries to fill the entire height and - total separation..
I feel I’ve tried everything from setting frames to percentages, pixels, relative but nothing seems to keep my site Top Justified..
Any help here would be incredibly appreciated..

Hmmm...
Your top row is set to be 94 pix tall. That doesn't look possible because you have your content frameset nested in that row. That's always going to be taller than 94.
I think you should have the main frameset tag like this.
<frameset rows="*,94">
The 94 is arbitrary. Whatever the true height of that frame is is what you want there. The * tells the browser that this row should take up all the rest of the space not specified by pixel heights. Maybe the bottom row should be 94 tall, and you just have thow 94 and the 100% reversed. 100% theoretically works the same as *, but I think * is cleaner.
One other thing I noticed is that you seem to have more </frameset> tags than you do <frameset> tags.
It looks like you have a second </frameset> right after the correct </frameset> in your nested frameset on the first row.

RE: pages w/frames...setting size/percentages - 5/29/2008 12:51:17
I am working on a website using Dreamweaver, I'll just say up front that I don't know any html code, I use Design View. I hope I'll still get a response from someone. I am using a top nested left frameset format. My problem is that from my Mac, when I test the page, the main frame fits on the page. But when i test it out on Windows, the right hand side of the main frame escapes the page. I have tried setting the main frame table size at a 60-70% percentage, and the navigation bar (table w/in the left frame) at 12-15%, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
Thanks

You know you really don't need to use frames - they're a bit of a nightmare! Ok nagging over.
It looks to me like you're using tables for layout in the main content area and you've got one cell that is 502px wide (photo) and the cell next to it is 356px wide (address?) which makes a total width for that content area of 858px wide so you get a scrollbar when the screen is less wide.
I'm not good with table layouts to be honest (not used them for 4 years) but try removing those widths and see if that helps - or replace them with %s instead.

I didn't originally prefer to use the frames, but I wanted to try it out so that the navigation bar would stay fixed while they can scroll up and down the main content page. Perhaps there are other ways to achieve that that I don't know about yet. In any case, I will give a try what you've suggested. Thanks.
