Can a nested frameset scroll as a whole

I have created a frameset ("A") comprised of three frames that works fine.

I have created a second frameset ("B") with two frames. This frameset allows for scolling on both frames and all works fine with normal html pages.

When I embed "A" into "B" I loose the scolling function that was on the frame of "B" in which I placed frameset "A". I need the entire first frameset ("A") to be able to scroll AS A WHOLE within the second frameset("B").

Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find anything on the web beyond telling me how to create basic scroll bars. Thanks for your help.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, gorillausa.

I see what you mean. It doesn't work the way I expected.

One approach you might play with is using two iframes for A (both style="float:left" if you need all columns) instead of an embedded or nested frameset. That does get the entire embedded document to scroll as a whole.

Still, there will be a challenge with the height or width of the iframes, but you just might get something you can work with.
