hi...
i have just started with web pages designing using ASP. I have created a horizontal menu in my header. What i want is, if the window is made smaller, ONLY the HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR should appear....and VERTICAL SCROLLBAR SHOULD NEVER appear!
i know that i have to use ---> scrolling = "yes / no /auto"...but for this situation, how to define the scrolling attribute for this frame!
please help!!

shankar,
This is really more of an HTML question. The general consensus is that vertical scrolling is more desirable than horizontal, so I'm not sure I've ever heard this problem discussed.
One cheat is to place a spacer gif <img src="spacer.gif " height="0" width="450" alt=""> at the top of the page. This will force the page to offer horizontal scrolling if the window is shrunk to less than 450px wide (this number is of course easily changed). The w3c has recommended that developers not use spacer gifs since they interfere with text-only browsers, but I think that when you use them for visual positioning, who cares?
Anyway, a better fix is to use css absolute positioning of your menu items. I think most browsers will interpret that correctly and not make your page too narrow when the browser window is shrunk.[html]<li style="position :absolute; top: inherit, left 125px;">topics</li><li style="position :absolute; top: inherit, left 205px;">discuss ions</li>[/html] Let me know if this helps.

Well, there is no need for spacer gifs anymore. Just set the width of the element to whatever you want and/or use margins and padding with css.
In any case, he mentions frames and I don't know what the situation is there.

I'd like to agree with you, but it still seems to me that width is one of those attributes not well supported.

hmm, now that you mention it, you got me there. I thought frame sizes were pretty concrete. guess I didn't notice that the first time.

Nah. Width works fine. It's min-width/max-width that IE has problems with.

I'd like to cause this whole page to fill the viewable window if I can.
Meaning that I'd like the entire page to be visible on the current users
screen.
That means that I'd like one or both of the divs to scroll. I've found how
to do that, I think, but can't seem to 'size' the page so it fits on

Hi
I have a page broken into two sections, the first top section is selection
criteria for my datagrid. The second section is the actual datagrid. I
would like the selection criteria section to stay on the page at all times
when scrolling.
I know this can be done with frames, but I believe using frames with asp.net
is a big pain, is there another way to have a non-scrolling section on a
page?
