How can I add a scrollbar to a frame on my website?

[blurredvision]

On one of my personal websites I manage, I have frames in which the far left is a navigation tool with links. On my comp running 1600x1200 res, I can see all the links fine. But others with a lower res cannot see all the links. It was always my understanding a scroll bar would be added automatically, but not in my case. One was added in the main frame, however.

I use Dreamweaver MX to design my pages and frames, but can also edit the HTML if needed. Can anyone help me out on what steps I need to take? TIA.

When I want to know how to do stuff like this, I usually open up FrontPage and do it then see what HTML it generated. FrontPage usually lets you change options like scrollbars through property pages, don't know about Dreamweaver. Barring that, you could try googling for "html frames tutorial".

if there is a scrolling="no" attribute on the frame tag remove it or change it to yes or auto

Thanks for the tip. I went into Frontpage, where I easily found an option to turn on and off scrollbars. I could find NOTHING in Dreamweaver, not even in the help files. I saw what change it made in HTML, which is what dighn explained, and changed it in notepad. Simple as that.

Thanks guys, you were a real help. Plus, I learned something.
