Stay away from frames if you can. How about a pure CSS iframe?

Sample HTML
-----

(content)

Sample CSS
----
#block {text-align: left;
width: 350px;
height: 500px;
background: #fff;}

.pad {padding: 10px;}

.overflow {overflow: auto;
width: 330px;
height: 480px;}

.padside {padding-right: 20px;}

That site is set up using frames.
There are a couple good tutorials about creating framed sites at
http://www.newbie.net/frames/ and http://www.webaim.org/techniques/frames/.

It's amazing how many different ways a site can be done.
Have fun with it and let us know what you end up doing.

I understand! Sometimes it's so hard to communicate what you want during the development phase.

I'm not sure if this is what you're doing but if you are wanting a way to place a lot of information in a short space on your page, an iframe can be a nice way to do it.

There is a page of tutorials and examples about iframes at http://www.dyn-web.com/dhtml/iframes/. I like the way they've done the Scrolling iframes here.

If you're looking for something different, just let us know.

I actually haven't made it yet....... thats why I'm asking the questions.........lol
I'm wanting to know how to set up the page .
Thanks

I'm still not clear how you're making your scrollbar on the left.
Are you using an iframe?
Is the scrollbar you're trying to controll on your page or is it in the browser itself?
Do you have a link or code you could show us?

I'm just full of questions aren't I?

Thanks for the reply,
What I'm wanting to do is have the sidebar on the left to scroll seperately from the rest of the page and still have the original scrollbar work independently if that clears up what I meant

Thanks

I'm not sure what you're wanting to do here.
Are you wanting to have content on your page that is shorter than the page so you have to scroll to see it all?

Help me clear up my confusion.
