Resizing Frames Page

I started building my page in high res, then saw it displayed at 800x600 and
decided something needed to be done. I am in the proccess of resizing my
website. I have read some posts and decided to create a table that's 100% in
width & height and place the content of my page in this table. This is
working out great for my individual pages, but I need help with my frames
page. I don't know what to do. I don't think you and put a frames page inside
of a cell. That probably wouldn't turn out to well if I tried. Can anyone
offer some suggestions?

You cannot put a frame inside a table cell, unless it's an IFrame.

What help do you need?

And why are you using Frames?

I only know basic html and I thought that I'd use frames so that I can keep
my menu on the left and display the content on the right....instead of
linking to a new page with the same menu. I don't know if that was the best
choice, but that's why I decided to go with frames.
The problem is that each frame requires scrolling to view the content. If I
open the page (being displayed in the right frame) in a new window it looks
fine & requires no scrolling.

This is probably why most people choose frames. It's the least of the
reasons why one should use them, though, since it's based on the incorrect
assumption that linking to a new page will have to reload the pages. But -
that's another thread.

Why not just make flat pages? Wouldn't that solve your problem? If you are
concerned about having a bunch of navigation instances, each of which must
be maintained, then investigate the use of FP's DWT feature, or of
server-side includes. Either of these two options will solve your
maintenance problems.

Regarding setting table HEIGHT to 100%: this can be done
in the table properties but the height of the page will
be determined by your content as well as the site
visitor's browser settings.
