Frames with scroll bars

Not sure if that title is clear but I need to create a frame or box on a web site that will contain more information than the size of the box or frame will accommodate - requiring the use of a scroll bar to view all the content (similar to what appears in many sales letter for multiple products).

Is this a simple coding exercise or do I need to have a particular type of style sheet?:confused:
#bars #frames #scroll

    It's a simple paramater in the .html.

      Thanks write-stuff -

      I had sort of figured that out - but what is the parameter and how do I use it? Presumably it is a piece of code that defines a table - but what is that code? I have checked all my paperwork on HTML and can't find it.

      You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
      Build it, make money, then build some more

    You can use something like this:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
    <html><head>
    <title>Welcome</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html">
    </head>

    <frameset rows="*, 90" border="0" frameborder="no" framespacing="0">

    <frameset cols="150,*" border="0" frameborder="no" framespacing="0">
    <frame name="left" src="left.html" scrolling="auto">

    <frameset rows="100,*" border="0" frameborder="no" framespacing="0">
    <frame name="top" src="top.html" scrolling="auto">
    <frame name="contents" src="contents.html" scrolling="auto">
    </frameset>
    </frameset>

    <frame name="footer" src="footer.html" scrolling="auto">

    <noframes>
    <p>This site is best viewed in a browser that supports frames.</p>
    <p><a href="contents.html">Continue...</a></p>
    </noframes>

    </frameset>

    </html>


    The frames will automatically resize if the content is too wide/long.

    The above example has four separate frames - one for the header, footer, left and content.

    You can use CSS to do this. Personally I use DIVs rather than frames, and then set the CSS accordingly. So, the HTML is:

    <div id="myBox">lots of content here</div>


    Then the CSS is:

    #myBox { overflow: scroll }


    You can of course control the size and position of myBox using CSS too.

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers,

      Frames

      With frames, you can display more than one HTML document in the same browser window. Each HTML document is called a frame, and each frame is independent of the others.
      The disadvantages of using frames are:
      • The web developer must keep track of more HTML documents
      • It is difficult to print the entire page
      The Frameset Tag

      • The <frameset> tag defines how to divide the window into frames
      • Each frameset defines a set of rows or columns
      • The values of the rows/columns indicate the amount of screen area each row/column will occupy
      The Frame Tag

      • The <frame> tag defines what HTML document to put into each frame
      In the example below we have a frameset with two columns. The first column is set to 25% of the width of the browser window. The second column is set to 75% of the width of the browser window. The HTML document "frame_a.htm" is put into the first column, and the HTML document "frame_b.htm" is put into the second column:
      <frameset cols="25%,75%">
      <frame src="frame_a.htm">
      <frame src="frame_b.htm">
      </frameset>
