I used the noresize, scroll=no commands on both framesets but if you grab the bottom of the window and resize the browser, the top part gets smaller and the separator moves to the middle of my image.
What can I do?

Are you using pixels or percentages for your frame sizes?

When I don't want a frame resized or even moved when the browser changes sizes, I use pixels to determine the size, then I insert a wildcard (*) frame on the edge with no content (or the same color background) that will change size with the browser while all the other frames stay the same.

Jeanne, could you please cut and paste me a sample so I can look it up?
I'm new to frames, but not HTML.
I'm a VB programmer, you have to speak slowly. :-)

Sure - here it is (sorry I guess I didn't post it correctly yesterday)

<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;>
</head>
<frameset rows=&quot;114,*&quot; frameborder=&quot;NO&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;topFrame&quot; scrolling=&quot;AUTO&quot; noresize src=&quot;WBtop.htm&quot; >
<frameset cols=&quot;298,500,*&quot; frameborder=&quot;NO&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; rows=&quot;*&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;leftFrame&quot; noresize scrolling=&quot;AUTO&quot; src=&quot;leftnav.htm&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;mainFrame&quot; noresize scrolling=&quot;AUTO&quot; src=&quot;logo.htm&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;rightframe&quot; scrolling=&quot;AUTO&quot; src=&quot;rightside.htm&quot;>
</frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body bgcolor=&quot;#000000&quot; text=&quot;#000000&quot; leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

On
<frameset cols=&quot;298,500,*&quot;
the third item (*) is the wildcard. the source document for this frame (<frame name=&quot;rightframe &quot;src=&quot;rightside.htm&quot;>) has nothing but a black background to match the other frames.

I hope this helps.

It worked fine. They never have to knock if your door is always open.
