I guess the overflow:auto is a default bet here rather than using frames... but javascript and dhtml can be used to make your own scroller...

Right - and Opera didn't until v. 8.0 (you can enable/disable it now)

This is the whole problem with fixed-height layouts. It's just really hard to get them to work. I think the best option is to reconsider forcing a fixed height design.

Would you mind posting a URL? Maybe we could offer some better suggestions if we had a clear idea of what your design is like.

Firefox does not support coloured scrollbars and i dont think the code validates. You could try flash or javascript but this will signifigently increase the load time of your page.

To make it blend better you can use CSS to change the scrollbar colours. Bja's solution is going to look more or less the same - it will still have scrollbars.

Do a google on colouring scrollbars with CSS - I don't have a reference handy. Just be careful when you're choosing colours - you want them to still look like scrollbars.

With css make a div layer where you whould usually put the frame. Then add this attribute to the style "overflow:auto;". Example avalable on request.
It should have a scroll bar but not load a new page.
