when previewing my web page, my site always resizes itself to fit to the window. is there anyway so my site does not resize itself when opening in a window. for example i ve created a site that uses frames, and when my window is not maximized fully, some frames are missing and when the window becomes maximized, all the frames appear. can someone please help me?. thanks
 
You need to specify a specific pixel width rather than a screen percentage.

If you need a snippet of code how to do this let me know!

The dimensions of frames can be determined in one of three ways: absolutely, in pixels (which means the frame size remains constant irrespective of browser window size); As a percentage of the total browser window size (which means that your frameset resizes itself proportionally according to browser window size); or relatively, which allocates space to frames after absolute and percentage frames, taking up the remaining space in a browser window. Different results can be had by using combinations of these. A non-resizing website can be created by nesting a pixel defined frame inside four outer percentage defined frames. The dimensions of the source file within this frame will remain constant and centered whatever the browser window size. If you want I can send you a Dreamweaver extension called 'letter box frameset'which will help you create such a scheme quickly and easily via the Extension Manager. Hope this is of help to you.
