Some frames shrinking when resizing browser window, how to fix?

Hello,

I made a simple website with frames, here is a link to it :

View attachment Site.zip.zip

As you see the frames it has are :

Top.html - The top frame which I probably will put some large title text on

left.html - just for general info, this is the one with the sample text

UntitledFrame-2 - this frame is for the purpose of having the image on it of the smooth curve

logo.html - frame for the logo picture

mainframe.html - for the main content.

The problem I am having, is when I open it in a browser, on full screen it looks ok, but now have a go and try resizing it, you will see the frame Untitledframe-2 begins to shrink and the curve on it begins to dissapear, the logo frame also begins dissapearing and is overlapped by the left.html frame

Is there any way I can make those frames (logo.html and Untitledframe-1) not get overlapped/dissapear when the window begins to be re-sized in the browser?

Thanks.

upload it to a free server... i dont want to have to download crap to help you fix something... common courtesy bro

BTW Scrap the frames and start over, learn how to code for the way internet is today, not for AOL 4.0 or IE 3 get with the times

Slightly harshly put, but I agree with the above post. Most people don't like downloading zip files. Maybe post some code to illustrate the problem? But I would also agree that if you're using iframes then you would really be better off scrapping them and use modern design techniques, for example php, html using divs, and css.

hi just to clarify something that I often see confused.

frames and iframes are not the same thing!

but yes ditch the FRAMES and move to modern techniques.

and always put up a demo on a test site so it can be viewed. NO ONE will download a random zip file just because...

if i came off rude I'm sorry, but someone with 1 post... no credibility for downloading something, the community hasn't gotten to know you, for all i know that could be a double zipped malicious file...

Hello everybody, Thank you for the time and replies, I should have introduced myself first, Sorry.

I use Frames because well, it's how I always made small websites with Dreamweaver, I know it's frowned upon by many but I just do this as a hobby, I will experiment with all different ways though in the future if I get time to learn, but for this time I'd just like to learn why this is happening.

Krymson I have done what you said to make it more convenient, I've found a host that doesn't put ad's on so you can view the site how I made it, here is the link:

Try to resize the browser window, keep resizing it diagonally and you will see my sample Logo which is in a frame begins to dissapear this frame I added myself, for some reason when I use dreamweavers default frameset (just 3 frames), the left and top frame stay put and are static so to say, but when I used the default frameset and added that frame on the top left for the logo, when resizing the sample text on the left frame moves up and overlaps the logo, anyway to make those frames with the text and logo not move around at all?

I know that most people will just view it on full screen and in real life it probably wont matter.... but it's just out of curiosity.

Thanks again everybody for your time to view.
