Last week I inquired about tables and pop-ups. Now I ask about FRAMES.

I used to have a framed site, which worked pretty well. It's been so long
that I have forgotten some essentials about framing. Well, I dug into the
archives and found my OLD source for the framed site (which worked)

<Frameset cols="14%,86%"> 
<BASE TARGET="right">
<FRAME SRC="navigation.html" NAME="left"NORESIZE>
<FRAME SRC="main.html" NAME="right"NORESIZE>
</Frameset>

Now, I'd like to tweak the frame quite a bit. I got everything to work
EXCEPT the "target" attribute of where the page will load. Here is the
source I am using right now (which is not working):

<Frameset cols="27%,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="0" border="0"> 
<BASE TARGET="right">
<FRAME SRC="./" NAME="left" NORESIZE SCROLLING="no"
MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" TARGET="right">
<FRAME SRC="main.html" NAME="right" NORESIZE
MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
</Frameset>


What happens, without fail in either browser, is that when the page is
selected from "index" it loads in "index" and NOT "main"  like it's
supposed to, as specified by TARGET="right". I don't understand what I'm
doing wrong. Hopefully something glaringly simple.

Also, is there a way to avoid the horizontal scrollbar but not the
vertical? I need a scroll on  my "main.html" frame but IE always renders
a horizontal scrollbar as well. It's ugly!

TIA,
Jay
