For what it's worth, <http://www.natural-innovations.com/as/osaxref.html> works beautifully with my copy of Netscape 3.0 (Solaris 2.4) using a 7.25'x7.25" viewing area. A very successful page, IMHO. :-) When running a test resize of the viewing area, the page worked fine from full monitor size (20") down to 5"x5"; below a 5" width the bottom frame needed a scrollbar so as not to lose the "Go" button. All in all, I find this page to be a fine example of how frames should be designed so as to be reasonably independent of monitor size. IOW, this page can handle a lot of user abuse before things start to get out of hand. We wouldn't be having this discussion of frames if more frame pages were as successful as this one is. fep -- fepotts@fepco.com http://www.fepco.com/
