why when i set a table to a percentage value in a frameset do i get a left right scrolly

frame page like this


------------------
¦ BANNER ¦
------------------
¦ ¦ ¦
¦ ¦ ¦
¦ ¦ MAIN ¦
¦ ¦ ¦
¦ ¦ ¦
------------------

ok laying that out didnt work , but im sure you get the idea.
the % table is in main frame and if i set the table to 100%, or 90% etc i get a left right scrolly bar..
i cant set it to no scrolling, so what gives?
any ideas .
any suggestions much appreciated.

Here's what you can be certain of -- some element in the table layout needs more width than you planned.

Table widths are only "suggestions" for a browser. TWidth attributes cannot absolutely determine the rendering, or else you could give contradictory instrtuctions to the browser with valid HTML.

I think you're going to need to de-bug, working with one element at a time until you find the item that is causing the overflow.
