trigg: Little question to the scrollbars of frames.

Hi,

i just want to know, if it is possible to get one scrollbar for all 3 frames of my index.html page
(html code under this text.)

examle: on this forum i can move the whole site
( logo-, buttons- and the forum-frame) with the horizontal and the vertical scrollbar. but on my site there is a scrollbar for each frame.

isn't it possible to make one frame out of three, wihtout changing all the other .html sites my homepage consists of ?????

  1. hi!
    my english is not so good but i hope ican help you!
    you have to set your three frames in a frame witch is in a highter level!

    --index.htm--
    <frameset rows="300,*">
    <frame name="ontop" src="topdata.htm">
    <frame name="bottom" src="bottomdata.htm">
    </frameset>

    know you set your three frames in "bottomdata.htm"!

    --bottomdata.htm--
    <frameset rows="300,500,*">
    <frame name="up" src="nav.htm">
    <frame name="middle" src="main.htm">
    <frame name="down" src="whatever.htm">
    </frameset>

    know i think there should be a scrolbar in the frame named "bottom" in wich you find also your three frames! i hope you understand me, if not right back!
    all right, good luck glowhead

    1. Hi glowhead

      know i think there should be a scrolbar in the frame named "bottom" in wich you find also your three frames! i hope you understand me, if not right back!

      I'm Sorry glowhead, but that is not actually true. We had this discussion some days earlier[1], and I had the same idea, but Utz corrected me[2]. If you put a frameset in a bigger frameset the user won't see anythin, because the the frame contenting the frameset would be everytime as big as the browser window.

      The only thing, I assume you can do, is to use iframes or better server-sided technlogies like PHP. which I prefer

  2. Hi Trigg,

    As already illustrated in the thread Johannes was referring to there is no frame based solution to achieve what you are trying to. However, in contradiction to Johannes' suggestion with a server-side language I am afraid this will not help to solve the problem at all. Possibly you can write an appropriate javascript to scroll the frames in your page smultaneously but neither HTML nor PHP will be a mentionable help.
