Query about frames

[Tim Downie]

My club website has the page split into 4 frames, one banner across the top
and three placed vertically below that.

http://www.zen31010.zen.co.uk/troontortoise/index.htm

I'm pretty clueless about the whole html business but I was more or less
chosen as the "least unqualifed" person to take over the website. ;-)

Anyhow, what I'm wondering is, can I set the two outside frames to fixed
dimensions and ensure that the middle text frame (with the "news" section in
it) will resize for all reasonable sizes & resolutions of monitors?

I think of got it mostly sorted but I've noticed that at some screen
resolutions the righthand fame expands widthways rather than remaining
fixed.

What have I done wrong?

yea, when I went to your site the right side slowly expanded. as I stretched
it across two monitors.

You might experiment as follows:

Bring up FP and select the "two vertical" templete from the blank page
templetes. In code view, add a "middle" one.

Then switch to design view. Set the middle one to, say 60 percent and set
the left and right panels to, say, 200 pixels (not percent).

This seems to work.

Cheers. I thought I had set the middle frame up as a percentage width frame
but somehow it was set to a pixel width.

I think it's better now but I haven't had a chance to check it on a bigger
monitor yet.

I just went to your site and dragged it across two monitor and it
worked perfectly.

Thanks for you help (and feedback).
