Locking Frames?

how do i lock frames in relative positions

[Culverin]

i have a menu on the left
a content page in the middle
and a column of quick links (images) on the right

my problem is that the conten in these 3 pages vary
so that my content page will almost always have a scroll bar. same with the links on the right.

i would like to know if there is a code for me to lock them all in place relative to each other.
somewhat like the fuction i could get with a bunch of tables. so that there is only 1 scroll bar (the browser bar on the right)

perferably this would be done in .CSS but i'm open to suggestions.

here's my page - hosted on a PRIVATE server

thanks all

Skip the frames, and move over to a css based layout using floating divs.

I agree with bonus. Frames are a bad idea....now that i nailed down positing with css, i will never go back! It is worth the extra work. Do a google on css column positioning there are some GREAT tutorials out there to walk you through it.

i'm actually working on my CSS right now

my main issue is that i want menu as page of code, seperate from the content.
that way, i wouldn't have to update the menu on every page of content.

is there a way to use the CSS column as a frame?
meaning call in a source for the box?

Sounds like you want a Server-Side Include (SSI). Do a search, you'll find heaps of info :-D

calverin,

yes, the way to have one "page" of code for your menus and whatever is to use server side includes... its how i do my left side menu on all my pages and i have another that i use on some... edit one "page" and they all update at the same time...
