RE: Help with fixed columns...

You can have a solution with no frames :
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div id="leftPane">
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td >çalskdfçlaksdf açlsdkfj </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="rightPane" style="width:300; overflow-X:auto;">
<table>
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">asdffaslkdf asçldkfasçldkfj çalsdkfçlaksdjf 
çalskdfçlaksdf açlsdkfj </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">asdffaslkdf asçldkfasçldkfj çalsdkfçlaksdjf 
çalskdfçlaksdf açlsdkfj </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
<tr>
</table>
When you set the overflow-X to auto at the right div. You're saying it can 
have an horizontal scrollbar.
Put a table with the cols you want fix at the left pane (left div). Put 
another table with the cols to scroll at the right pane(right div).
According with the width of the right table and the width of rightPane, it 
will scroll as you wish.
