Hi,
I have an frameset with 2 frames: a top frame (navigation) and a bottom frame (main). If the main frame is long enough to need a scrollbar, the scrollbar appears only in the main frame, not acrosss the whole page. I seen it done before, but I don't know how...
How do you do this?
Thanks in advance.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes!

If you are seeing a scrollbar across the whole page, you may have it set for the frameset. If you want one just for the main frame, select main frame by choosing it in the frames panel (choose Window > Frame to open the panel if it's not open already), then set the scrollbar property in the property inspector to yes or auto.(or something like that)

HTH,

Actually, its the other way around. The scrollbar is on the main frame, but I want it on the whole page.

Oops. My bad.. I read your question again and here's what I guess..

I think you can use Inline Frame ( < IFRAME > ) to do what you wanna do, instead of using frames. IFRAME function like a document within a document.

How would I implement this in Dreamweaver MX?

I don't have DW installed on the home computer. I'll check it out tomorrow in the office and let you know<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> unless someone else replies to this thread or you find it out before I do...

Allright, thanks.
I'll try to figure it out in the meantime.

What is the version of Dreamweaver you are using?

In DMX04, you can insert "Floating Frame" from HTML menu bar in code view or typing &lt; IFRAME in your HTML code will show you more attributes. If you set the height to the height of the a document you use for main and set scrolling to no, that'll give you a scroll bar across the whole page.
