Stuck with resizing issue

[Alina]

Hallo,

I'm working on a graphics intensive site with 3 frames in it but I
need it to be able to resize depending on the user's screen
resolution. I originally thought I could use javascript's screen.width
to grab the size and calculate a percentage between that and the
current (good) resolution of 1024x768 and apply that to both the
frames and the graphics to get an auto scaling thing happen. Also, I'm
puzzled as to why the scrollbars don't come on even if I explicitly
tell them to. They show up in each of the frames but never on the site
as a whole. That would already get things going on a better track. As
it stands, some navigation buttons and a whole lot of info drops off
the bottom of the screen if it's set to 800x600 or lower.

Ideas?

Thanks
Alina

Would be a start. As for determining my screen.width, it is totally
irrelevant to my browser window size. Or, do you plan on attempting to
change that too? If so, I promise that nothing on your site is worth me
getting pissed about you attempting to resize my browser window to 2048x768.

Nah. Didnt want to resize a browser window. That's irritating. Just want
to get my site to adjust to fit into whatever they have. I'll check the
link.

Thanks.

In light of there being no solution to having my page scale, I'm
thinking about redoing it with templates. I spent all day trying to get
a layer to open up in a template and it wont work. I need a layer
becuase there is a lot of text and it HAS to scroll. Worse is that this
text is going over a map so the background cant scroll. I did this with
a scrolling layer over a stationary background in a frame. Why is this
not working in a template?

I'm starting to think that there are too many non-working components to
web design to make it really interesting. This whole thing is so
restrictive, time consuming and inconsistent to be truly useful.
