scrollbars in a framed page

hi,
i'm having a problem with this page wich has three frames. one of this frames contains the menu and some links.
the problem is: when the menu is open, the links overflow the frame and, since i set scrollbars hidden, it's not possible to visualize any link.
one solution that would make me very satisfied is use other frame's scrollbar to control the menu frame. but i think it's not possible, so, what can i do?

the screenshots show the menu opened and closed.

thanks for any help, guys!


ok, 'why not set scrollbars unhide'. i just don't want it.

I'd pull the menu out of a frame completely. Then, if any scrolling's necessary, you can use the main window's scrollbar.

I agree with Madpawn. In the interests of accessability remove the frames.

The links are huge! =)

Although I agree with the accessibility aspect, can I ask you to clarify "one solution that would make me very satisfied is use other frame's scrollbar to control the menu frame."

that's it...
in other words: if the menu scrollbar appears on the right side (just as the main scrollbar), it will be perfect.

no... its a replacement: the right scrollbar will control the menu frame instead of the main frame. or it can control both frames, thats better.

What happens if the right side of your page has to scroll as well?

Sounds like you just blew your mind my friend... =)

Quite frankly, it's discussions like this why I avoid frames altogether... the idea of a scrollbar in the middle of the page is confusing from a user perspective.

Looking at your layout, I think I would redesign it slightly to be a single page [without frames]. This way, if the left menu needs to stretch, it can... if the right content needs to flow off the screen, itcan... all with one scrollbar.

yeah, i know...
at first, the page has no frames, and it was a lot easier to handle.
but now it has a lot of javascript, and i'm using it to write the content of the frames...
i have tried to do this with layers, but seems very complicated to me... i'm new on all of this stuff

using layers instead of frames, the big question is: how to insert the content of a html page - all, not only text - in a frame with a <a> tag and javascript?
something like
Code:
<a href="#" onClick="changeContent(pagex);">

where 'pagex' is the html page...

hey... i'm working on this:
Code:
 function mudarConteudo(ID,parentID,sText) { 
  if (document.layers) { 
    var oLayer; 
    if(parentID){ 
 	 oLayer = eval('document.' + parentID + '.document.' + ID + '.document'); 
    }else{ 
 	 oLayer = document.layers['main_layer'].document; 
    } 
    oLayer.open(); 
    oLayer.write(sText); 
    oLayer.close(); 
  } 
  else if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=5&&navigator. 
 appName=="Netscape") { 
    document.getElementById('main_layer').innerHTML = sText; 
  } 
  else if (document.all) document.all['main_layer'].innerHTML = sText 
 } 
 


the 'sText' parameter reffers only to text. ok, there's a parameter wich referrs to all content?

anyway, thx at least for read it all
