frames help

[newbie]

I've got a page with five frames on it, but it keeps not working right!

I've got one frame around the edge of each side of the screen, and one right
in the middle. I want the two on the left and right edge of the screen to
have scroll bars, and the ones on top to not have scroll bars. I also want
the scroll bars to be green instead of the regular default color they are
now. Lastly I want the page to force the browser to open at 100 percent of
the screen, (everyone deserves to see my content!) I mean no broswer at all,
just launch like an app. How do I do that?

Thanks for any help.

That's because you got five frames on it.

I've got one frame around the edge of each side of the screen, and one right
in the middle. I want the two on the left and right edge of the screen to
have scroll bars, and the ones on top to not have scroll bars. I also want
the scroll bars to be green instead of the regular default color they are
now.

Sounds rather complex. What is your question?

Check out the hundreds of threads and websites on that very same topic.

What's the URL?

Uh huh. You do know that frames will cause all sorts of problems,
don't you?

I want the two on the left and right edge of the screen to
have scroll bars,

and the ones on top to not have scroll bars.
scrolling="no"

I also want
the scroll bars to be green instead of the regular default color they are
now.

body {scrollbar-base-color: green;} in the stylesheet for the page in
the frame.

But many people won't see it, and of those that do many won't like it.

Lastly I want the page to force the browser to open at 100 percent of
the screen, (everyone deserves to see my content!)

And that will drive away another sizable chunk of your audience.

You can open a new window full screen in some browsers with JavaScript
window.open( 'mypage.html' , 'mywindow', 'fullscreen=1')

To change the existing window is a bit trickier. I've seen it done,
badly, with JS that detects the screen dimensions and sets the browser
window size to those values. But this doesn't get rid of the browser
chrome.

But why don't you a bit more confidence in your content to hold an
audience's attention without all these tricks?

I've got a page with five frames on it,
ok

but it keeps not working right!

You already said that.


/with apologies for the cheap crack, but in all honesty frames are soooo
last century.

They were outdated in the last century too. Tables layout are soooo last
century.

Odds are you don't need to use frames. http://dorward.me.uk/www/frames/

Very bad idea: http://dorward.me.uk/www/dumb/fullscreen.jpeg

Then you really shouldn't be using frames

Hmm.


I've got one frame around the edge of each side of the screen, and one right
in the middle. I want the two on the left and right edge of the screen to
have scroll bars, and the ones on top to not have scroll bars.

Set the scrolling attribute accordingly, then.

I also want
the scroll bars to be green instead of the regular default color they are
now.

Why? I always think "Talentless newbie" when I see coloured scrollbars.

body
{
scrollbar-face-color: #FFCC66;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFCC;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #FF9900;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #4189DD;
scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #FFFFFF ;
}

Lastly I want the page to force the browser to open at 100 percent of
the screen,

How big will that be? Why would I want your newbie site occupying all
1600x1200 pixels of my screen?

Then re-design your site so that they can see it properly.

I mean no broswer at all,
just launch like an app. How do I do that?

Don't. You'll look like a right tosser and will no doubt piss off your
visitors. Fortunately Mozilla lets *me* decide what *your* site does
with the size of *my* browser.

<script>
window.open("http://www.example.com/", "windowName", "fullscreen=yes");
</script>

This is a joke, right?

That was my thought, too. Especially this bit:

Sounds very TIC to me.
