Its been 5+ years since i ever even thought about using frames in a website. they're outdated and just not good.

However I am trying to create a old looking site for fun.
Back then in 1998 and so almost everyone used 800x600px screen res. so frames mostly all looked the same on each and every desktop...

however that isn't the case today.

usually on my sites now if i want to guarantee that they'll be showing correctly on every screen res i use a div wrapper or container, and it works out well.

Since i haven't been messing with frames or learning anything about them in the many previous years, i have no idea if you can do similar thing with them?

What i'd like to do is center the frame set in the middle of the browser so that they stay in that container and not stretch to fit the screen or anything.

Usually we have a top frame, left frame for navigation, and content frame on the right. Now that content frame expands to fit the screen, an d it jsut looks ugly. Especially on larger screen res.

I doubt this this is possible. I've already tired using the regular div containers and wrappers that i've been using and it hadn't worked.

I am thinking the only way i can get this to work is to use the flash frames and do it that way, which is more complicated and might not be worth it since this is just a "fun" little project.

thanks

Have you heard about the IFRAME? Look it up, it's probably what you need (a frame somewhere in the page, a bit of CSS or old school tables should get it centered).

Oh yeah, i forgotten all about those. I could have an iframe in the center of the page,and have the frame set within that.

I don't know if i'm going to be doing this entire frame thing anyways.
I was able to convert an old frame site site of mine that i made in 2002 to css and everything and it actually looks pretty good. No point in using frames anymore since you can use php includes.

I might play around with them some more later. I don't know. Those are just the old days. Reliving memories. ha

thanks
