I kinda need help with my frames. i'm trying to do what lissa did on her frames for this site. if those are frames. like in the home page. on the left is the tool bar. i tryed to do that. but my toolbar is to big.and i thought the scroll bar was ugly so i got rid of it. What i want to do is you have 1 scroll bar on the Right ----> that moves the toolbar on the left <--- and the Info on the right--->.
Like what i said this home page. The first time i tryed to do it I messed it up. I wrote something and it looked like this.

|-------|
| |
| |
|- - -- -|<---- table
baufhajfjashnflafjalfjaj <-------- writing

|-------|
| |
| |
|- - -- -| <---- other table

|-------|
| |
| |
|- - -- -|<--- other table.

I want all the tables to the left. and have a Split Right next to the tables so i can write without moving them out of place. I've been trying to make this work for like over 3 months and tryed to get ppl 2 help and no 1 would. And with like 20 other websites i've tryed to make.

Please try and help some 1.

I don't believe you can do that using frames. You could however make a table in which case it would scroll both. Thats what lissa used on her site. :)

I dont believe lissa used frames on this site...it appears to be opne big table.

So, as someone who delt with a sidebar too long for her screen for almost a year, i will say this: Use a big ol honkin table. Put the entire page into a table, and have the left frame be the sidebar and the right side be the content box.

You're using geocities, so if you have a big site, this is gonna be hard to do. I took to screaming "HTML IS FUN!!!" every time i hadda do a sidebar update when i used geocities, cause i had over 70 pages that i would update by hand. However, unless you wanna shrink your sidebar so it all fits in the frames, you'll have to use tables....

Did i make any sence here?

(oh, and if you use tables, and you want your table to go all the way to the edges of the page, dont forget the netscape fix in the body tag (marginwidth="0" and some such tags. Check lissa's source))
