I dont know why another frame would just appear. On my site i have a
header
frame(top)( which is fine in positioning) navigational frame(left), footer
frame (bottom)(which is fine too) , and then my right frame which is my
body..
My problem was the info in the body frame was going out farther than the
header
and footer frames so i indented all the info on each of my body pages
which
brought everything in more and got rid of my horizontal scroll bar but
gave me
a vertical scroll bar... I dont know why another frame would just appear
if you
didnt set the frame up there, unless i understand you wrong.

I just can't get those frames the way I want them to be, so I'll just reconstruct the site and build it without them
Thank you all for your support !

This is the best approach, in my opinion.

I have also run into similar problems using frames and looked for ways around
them. One way is using drifting layers, which has major drawbacks as well.
Another way is one that I found on Coke.com, but I have no idea how it was
accomplished. On the site's non-flash version, when their text doesn't fit in
the window a scroll bar appears. If you have any ideas on how they did this, I
would love to hear them and I think it might be a viable alternative to using
frames because the menus stay put while you scroll. The link is:

Colman,

You mention drifting layers. By that do you mean floating layers?

From what I saw at the text version Coke.com site appears to be done with
CSS and javascript. As for the scroll bars automatically appearing if the
text doesn't fit into the space allocated that is something CSS does and if
you go into the CSS panel you'll find a setting that sets scrolls to
automatic, never, always. The automatic setting obviously is what was used
in the example you site.
