frame lock--you've heard it before

[Audrey]

The frame lock checkbox doesn't lock my frame sizes--thet
still change in a browser window. I'm I overlooking
something?

Do you mean the Resizable In Browser check boxes in the
Frame Properties dialog box?

These stop the visitor from moving the frame borders
within the browser window.

But they don't stop the visitor from changing the
browser's window size, and when the browser does that, the
frames inside the window need to adjust.

Jim,
Can you look at my web.... concerning the bottom Frameset.
I can't seem to adjust it correctly. It looks okay when you use a full size
browser but if you make the browser small... the bottom frame scrolls,
therefore, displaying a blank. Since I know this, I can put the mouse in
that location and make it scroll to be viewable. I want it to be viewable
when the browser size is set small.. on a refresh.

Ahhhhhh--ok, I get the meaning of that now. Why is it nessesary for the frame size to change?

So if I had used in line frames, they would not resize in a browser window? If that's the case can I still have a "frames page" in which hyperlinks from several in line frames can open a web page in one content frame?

That banner ad you've got is 728 pixels wide. So, unless the frame is
at least 728 pixels wide, you're not going to see the whole picture.
