Salutations,
I’ve been developing a site for my job where I’ve incorporated frames. I have a top frame, bottom frame and a set of frames between to fit an image (in a frame to the left) and the main content on the right. My problem is that though the top frame is set to a specific size with noresize, when the window itself is resized, the frame shrinks, which would hide possible text links I would like to place here.
Another issue, that didn’t dawn on me until my boss viewed the page on his mac with a high resolution screen setting, is that if the window is particularly large (larger than I can even set it to on my machine which is set to 1200×800) the bottom frame (which I set to a * value so it takes the remainder–so I know WHY) grows and the bg image repeats and looks messy. My question on this end is whether or not I could lock the window size so that I could avoid this on machines with ever increasing resolutions.
I probably shouldn’t have used frames at all, but at this point I’m hoping to find another solution other than scrapping the whole plan, all together. Here is the script for the frames page.

You need to enable frames to see this site.

The mbottom and mtop frames are just small images that give a shaded affect to the main content section. Any ideas?
Thanks.
