that what its set to in frontpage.

Perhaps you are confusing the size of the FP document window with the size
of the web page? There is no way to 'set' the size of a webpage, other than
by creating the page's contents so that they fit within a given window size.

Your page, which uses frames, has this markup for the frameset page -

<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0" rows="108,*">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" target="contents" src="topmain.htm"
noresize>
<frameset cols="181,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="leftmain.htm" scrolling="no"
marginwidth="2" marginheight="1" noresize>
<frame name="main" src="centermain.htm" scrolling="auto" noresize
target="_self">
</frameset>

The only widths specified there are 108px for the top frame's height, and
181px for the left frame's width. The contents frame (and the top frame)
will expand or contract (with scrollbars if needed) to fill the remaining
browser viewport width after subtracting the left frame's width. And I see
these scrollbars in both IE6 and Firefox.

I will just add that scrollbars are but one of the many reasons why frames
are rarely your best choice. Unfortunately, frames are seductive and most
new users choose them. But you have to be a real expert with HTML and
javascript before you can really manage them....
