Varying window resolutions on different frames

Hi!

I am building a website that has two frames with a vertical divide.
Each frame displays a page from a different websites (such that the
site visitor can view two websites on my one web page).
Of course, this results in the nasty issue of horizontal scrolling.
To resolve this issue, I would like to have two different screen
resolution for each of the two frame windows. I do not want to change
the monitor resolution, only the two frame window resolutions within
the browser (this should not affect any other open window). Does this
sound like a crazy idea?
If this is possible at all, have I come to the right news group to ask?

If not, where should I turn to next? Is there some sort of "plug-in" to

achieve this effect?
If this is not possible, can anyone think of another idea to resolve
this horizontal scrolling issue? I do not want to place the window
frames in a column; they must remain in a row.

Frames are generally a bad idea IMHO,
especially frames of different websites IF they are not yours to
manipulate.

If you must, try <iframe>s

yes.

no.

The screen resolution is set by the video board for the whole screen..

Using IE only, you can use css "zoom" for any element or a whole body,
but again, you should have access.

Or you can use xmlhttp to "mine" the content of the sites and incorprate
the content or parts of it in your web page.

Doing this serverside is much neater.

You should ask the cooncent of the owner methinks.
