Question Frame Help
Here is my problem: I have a website ( URL ) and I have a frame set. Frame 1 (the one on top) looks weird when it appears online, but when I watch it on the programme I made this website (Namo Web Editor 3) it looks perfect. I tried adjusting the settings but it didn't work. So could you have a look and hopefully you'll know the answer.

Thank you.

Well, how is it supposed to look?

Frames in general are somewhat frowed upon in the web design world... they had their run back in the mid-90's, but lost their push... personally I think it ruins the flow of a website...

from a design aspect, its hard to get predictable results, as you've experienced... I'm sure if you view the page in many different browsers you would get all kinds of different renderings of you page... Plus different screen resolutions totally muck around your layout...

I'm guessing you probably want the top frame to be the height of the image. If so, use pixel lengths, instead of percentages, when defining frame sizes in your frameset. Percentages are based on the width/height of the browser, which can vary.

That is exactly what I am talking about stumpy... I tried finding those parts of the HTML text but didn't. Well, I'll try again. Thanks.

The sizes you are looking for are in the frameset file, not the actual frames.
