size of frames change with different screen resolution

[bruga]

Hello,
I made a website in which I have 4 frames: top, left,
main and footer. The frames must connect to eachother
precisely, because there are (background) images in them
that should be one big image on the screen. I used a
fixed number of pixels for the higth of the frames, but
when I watch the page on a higher resolution screen, the
frames don't connect anymore (that is, the upper and
lower frames). Does anyone have a solution for that
problem?

Not possible for all user browser window settings and cross browsers
(browsers handle frame borders & spacing differently)
Each frame is a window

How would you solve this problem?

1) Not use frames
2) If frames must be used, Make the Border areas that need to "match up" graphically forgiving (so any mismatch (there will be one)
is not seen by users

It really depends on whether you are trying to align page background images
between frames or tables between frames, in either case it is trial and
error, to get the frame settings and image sizing just right.

Back in 1998/9, most of my web projects were frame based until I learned to
use tables.

Here is example of frame based site, where the background is a simple
pattern the blends very well between the 4 frames.

(For whatever reason the Java applet on the site is not working.)

Here is a sample frame layout, do a save as complete html from IE and you
can see how I put this together, but it was done using page background
images.

The main reason I use frames is the time it takes to show the pages. Only the middle frame has to be refreshed in this case. Is there an other possibility to speedup (without to much loss of quality of the images) the loading of the pages if I don't use frames? (look at http://bge-training.com to see the example).

How would the use of Themes play into this? What would the results be?

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

Themes are page content appearance and don't affect frame sizes

I'm not doing a good job of asking the question :

I have a site using frames currently and also struggle with the varying resolution issues described here. If I was to change the frames to theme borders, would they size accordingly to resolution?

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

No
Themes don't affect window (frame) size
