Hi,

I am having a problem with Netscape not displaying a scrollbar on my top and bottom frames.

I have a site with 3 frames. Top frame (which has the Nav), Middle frame (which has the content) and Bottom nav (which has the Legal stuff). The content is centered in all frames and should be all inline with each other. In the BODY line in each page I have set scroll="auto" and this workd fine in IE, but in Netscape the scrollbar only appears in the middle frame and not in either the top or bottom, thus putting the content out of line.

Does anyone no how to rectify this problem??

Here's a link to the page
Cheers
 
Code:
<frameset rows="81,*" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
  <frame src="index-top.html" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
  <frameset rows="*,77" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
    <frame src="benefits.html" name="mainFrame" [B]scrolling="YES"[/B]>
    <frame src="index-bottom.html" name="bottomFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
  </frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes><body>
Try using the proper scroll bars as opposed to the very nice ones toy are using problem is NS dosnt like them
Hope this helps

Thanks for that. But unfortunatly still having the same problem. What's happening is the scrollbar isn't appearing until it is needed on Netscape, whether it is set on "AUTO" or "YES". And there is no blank space left for it as there is on IE. So I'm stumped with this one.

I have also tried it without the Style Sheet scrollers, as I know they don't work in Netscape, but this also had no effect.

Thanks for your advice anyhow.
