This is my first post. Always loved this site, so I’m hoping someone can help here.

First things first. I’m a relative amateur when it comes to design. I use Dreamweaver MX2004 on a Mac.

Here’s a link to my problem page:

http://sterneworks.org/blog.html

Please ignore the text. It’s all test stuff for now. There will eventually be links and navigation to connect it with the rest of my site.

The main problem is that I want the top frame to be fixed at 110 pixels tall, but in my browsers (IE 5.5 & Safari 1.2) it appears to be bigger than that. The goal is to use the image as background and not to repeat.

I know frames are “out” but I’m using frames to hide the long and ugly URL that my ISP requires for the blogging software. Plus, I wanted to custom design the layout without using a ton of php, which I don’t know.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

You have to swich off the scrollbars in the top frame.

Note that frameborder="no" and <noframes></noframes> are invalid markup for your doctype.]]> 08/10/04, 223 53 2004 2004:%i:1092124381 03:53:01 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1186 Jes said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1187
Hmmm.

Edit: as I move the browser around, I notice that all frame sizes appear to be relative (ie, the left frame expands and contracts as well). Is there a way around that?]]> 08/10/04, 223 37 2004 2004:%i:1092163041 14:37:21 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1187 Joe Gillespie said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1188

but you would probably be better using CSS with an inline frame (iFrame).]]> 08/10/04, 223 14 2004 2004:%i:1092165272 15:14:32 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1188 Jes said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1189

Edit: Just tried a suggestion from another BBS. Seems to work now. Does it for you? Thanks again.]]> 08/10/04, 223 37 2004 2004:%i:1092184623 20:37:03 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1189 Joe Gillespie said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1190
I don't know of a specific source for iFrames and CSS but you can search for either on Google.]]> 08/11/04, 224 46 2004 2004:%i:1092210372 03:46:12 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1190 Jes said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/help_with_frame_sizing/#p1191
