A frame set will always fill the viewing window. When you set the rule for how to divide the territory, at least one of the component frames must change size.

To set your frameset rules so that most of the frame layout stas fixed, you can use a number of pixels for every frame but one. That one dimension should be a wildcard (*) and it will probably be for your main content frame.

When you set every frame col or row as a fixed number, you are ensuring that the browser will make its own decision because it can't do what your rules say:

1. "This is a frameset - therefore it must fill the window"
2. frameset cols="219,460" means only use cols to fill 219+460 (679) pixels\

Try frameset cols="219,*" and so on. The first col should stay fixed at 219, and the second will fill the rest of the available space. When you state the rule the way it is, the browser preserves the ratio of the two, but not the absolute sizing.

Hope that helps.
