Unfortunately, it's the only way that I'm sure will work with a large percentage of browsers.

If everyone is using version 4 browsers, you could detect the viewer's screen resolution and provide a different image for each resolution. However, the problem there is that we wouldn't know whether the viewer has the browser maximized or not.

Of course, if I find a slick trick, I'll post it here for you.

The site is a secure intranet, so you can't access the url.
I could send you a few *.htm files if you want.
keeping the images sized to the smallest screen used is what I guessed I'd have to do, I was hoping someone knew a magic trick or two. Thanks for writing back.

The best way is to keep the images small enough so that they will fit inside a screen at 640x40. Since you have frames, there will only be room for smaller images if you want to keep everything scalable, since the frames cut into the available screen size even more.

If you post the url of the site, we can look at it and offer some more detailed tips on what to do to help you make it scalable.

I've been setting three frames up using percentages to workaround varying screen sizes. However, images, ect.. can't be set using percentages, so everything looks funny. Any suggestions on how to make a truly scalable frameset web page.

I noticed that you can't attatch files to these messages. I could email one of you the IIS root folder (~4mb) if you're still curious.
