New to this forum and I am hoping someone can help with something that seems so simple, but I just can't get it. go to www.mcmillenonline.com/tubi and you can see my dilemma. This happens often to me and I don't know why. The page has two frames, one above and one below. They don't match up (the tables) despite them being both set to the same width, same properties and both are set to CENTER. Any help? Thx in advance

It all has to do with the scroll bar on the side of the bottom frame. IE adjusts your site to include a scroll bar on the side. I am assuming that the top frame is set to have NO SCROLL and that is why the top frame is where is should be. The bottom frame adjusts to include a scroll bar and therefore pushes the center of the page a bit to the left.

If you view this with netscape V.7, you will see that if the page requires a scrollbar, your centered page will be pushed a bit to the left (same as IE). But if you have a larger resolution monitor, and your screen is large enough so that you don't need scroll bars, then you page will work fine in netscape.

As for a fix??? I don't know... Left justify your page instead of centering it?

Thank you, and that's what I figured. I am going to try to force the top frame to use a scroll as well, since it doesn't need it, I am assuming that it will never show?
