Frames Resize

[Steven Chapman]

I'm having difficulties with the resizing of frames when a viewers browser is
set to full screen.

www.ciperspectives.com is the site I am working on (still a work in progress).

When you visit any number of pages (the index page as an example), the
screen looks as if it should be as envisioned in the design. However, once
you hit "full screen," a separation between the frames then becomes obvious
and unwanted.

All frame properties are set to the exact same size (both width and height)
as those of the images or swf.s that reside in them. "Resizable in Browser"
is also checked under each of the Option categories.

I've attempted to change the frame sizes to percentages, but this creates
the same results.

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Consider using the IFrame inserted into a table/cells

Your design could be also be done with just tables and/or CSS.

Thomas,

Many thanks for your suggestions, however I did attempt to use an IFrame
setup for the middle frame of the page, with the same effect.

The site is designed so that on the majority of pages within the navigation,
the flash swf on the center right hand portion of the site remains constant
as the viewer travels the site. Refashioning the site with simple tables
fails to achieve the stated objective, and the swf would reload each and
every time the viewer went to a different part of the site.

Could you please clarrify your thoughts on CSS? Are you refering to the
"positioning" factor within, and if so, would I code the frames pages as such
(either absolute or relative) or each of the pages that lay within the
structure of the frames?

Thanks.

Classic case of over dimensioning

When you set rows="140,339,121" (600) and cols="241,569" (=810) you are constraining everything to work only in a 810x600 browser
window
FYI
- 810 is too big and should probably be ~760x520 for any 800x600 browser window

In each case you need to let at least 1 of the frame windows be variable so it can shrink/grow
- say the middle one the 1st frameset as rows="140,*,121"
- and the 2nd one in the 2nd frameset as cols="241,*"
