Scrollbar for the frameset

Hi all,

i have an HTML page that is divided into 3 frames:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<title>Blah!Blah!</title>
</head>

<frameset rows="*" cols="185,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="leftFrame.asp" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frameset rows="85,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="topFrame.html" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="mainFrame.asp" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body></body>
</noframes>
</html>
---------------------------------------------------------------------

my problem is that i want a scrollbar for the entire frameset and not just for the frames.
Could be done???????

Thank u

Jakob

You can give the appearance as such, though I am not sure why you would need to. (BTW I am cringing as i write this ;] )
<frameset rows="100%" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="layout.html" name="layout" scrolling="auto" noresize>
</frameset>

on the layout.html page, place your above code.

However, for this to even work, the layout.html page would have to expand beyond the viewable area.
