Automatically resizing frames in html

static244 · 10-25-2005, 06:35 PM

Ok here is my dilemma...

I have 3 frames in my page, like the image below.
http://home.pcisys.net/~encantadas/static244/frames.jpg

I want the middle frame (2) to appear in the center of the browser window no matter what resolution the viewer is at or the size of their browser window.

Here is my current html code...

---------------------------------------------------------------

<html>
<title></title>

<frameset cols="19%,980,*" border="0">
<frame src="blank.htm" name="farLeft" scrolling="no">
<frame src="index2.htm" name="centercolumn" scrolling="no">
<frame src="blank.htm" name="farRight" scrolling="no">
</frameset>

</html>

----------------------------------------------------------------

I know the "19%" is wrong, thats just the size it has to be at 1600x1200. I just don't know what to replace it with.

Thanks,

<html>

<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="20%,*,20%">
<frame name="left" target="main">
<frame name="main">
<frame name="right">
<noframes>
<body>

This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

</html>
--------------------------------------

<frameset cols="20%,*,20%">

In this, just put X%, or a set size in pixels, and a * in the middle. (Sorry, have not used frames much, but it seems this works?).

Thanks. A slight variant of that code ended up working. Here it is.

-------------------------
<html>
<title></title>

<frameset cols="19%,980,19%" border="0">
<frame src="blank.htm" name="farLeft" scrolling="no">
<frame src="index2.htm" name="centercolumn" scrolling="no">
<frame src="blank.htm" name="farRight" scrolling="no">
</frameset>

</html>
-----------------------------

I needed to keep the middle frame the same size no matter what so I left it at 980px. It seems when I do this and resize the window, the 19% parts get overridden and they just become equal in size.
