Can I somehow make a "shared" scrollbar for a page with frames? It's annoying when every frame got it's own scrollbar, when a single scrollbar on the right would be the only thing necessary. Anyone know if its possible?

I think you have 2 options here if i understand your question. You can either:
1. Hide the scrollbar if the content in the frame in question fits on the page and doesn't even need a scrollbar. You can do this by right clicking in the frame and clicking "Frame Properties". Then choose "Never" in the drop down menu where it says "Show Scrollbar".
2. Take the page out of frames. This would accomplish what you are talking about. IT's hard to say without seeing it but you could just make a table with 2 columns and put the content from the frame in the left column and the content from the main frame in the right column. The whole page would then scroll from the main scrollbar.
I already knew that, but thanks anyway! The thing with tables is that it's extremely hard to link between the different pages wihtout messing up the menu completely. Take a look if you don't know what I mean:
Yeah, you do get the right scrollbar, but it's only for the centre frame. I'm going to chuff loads of banners and a counter on the left frame, and I don't want a scrollbar for each of the two frames, but a shared one.
The site as it is now however only requires one scrollbar. But as you probably can see, it won't scroll the topframe.
