This is driving me crazy! I've tried everything I can think of to solve this issue but no luck. Here's what's happening:

Everything looks great on PC NS4+ and IE. However, on the Mac using IE the initial frameset loads great. However, when targeting a frame to load another page it will load scrollbars with it. I don't want that. The page needs to be noresize and scrolling="no" (both in the initial frameset page code). Again, when the frameset page loads it's fine (not resizing and no scrollbars). But when I load a new page within a specific "noresize/no scrollbar" frame page it adds scrollbars! Grrrr. Works fine on PC too, just IE on Mac does this.

Any help would GREATLY be appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve

PS I can't post the URL for security reasons:-¦ But, here's the tag on the frame causing me problems:

document.write('<frame src="home/home_sub.htm" name="subFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" noresize id="subFrame">');

PPSS I also tried removing the JS code but still same results.

I've found some conversation about this frame reloading bug in IE/Mac, but no one had it figured out, they just mentioned it. Some people were experimenting with CSS -- overflow:hidden -- but that yielded mixed results apparently. The rendering engine for IE on Mac is just plain garbage.

You might take some comfort from knowing that there's only a small number of users because it is so bad. Netscape and now Safari are much more appreciated.
