there is though. netscape converts a frames pixel size into a percentage. if
you find the right pixel size then the conversion into percentage will look
the same.

www.clickdms.com 's frames are the same in IE and netscape 4.6 and the
design depends on the size of the frames, and they also stay intact on
different screen resolutions. netscape is very awkward when it comes to
frames, but there is always a way round it. ive never had any problems in
getting frames to work the way they need to view the page properly. even if
it just means an extra frames page and a auto-redirect.

Hello,

Sadly, there is not much you can do about this problem.  The trouble lies in
the fact that Netscape is terribly inaccurate when it draws frames on the
screen.

All you can really do is try to give yourself some more space to let
Netscape mess up.

Hope this helps,

Tim
