Horizontal Scroll appears after 2nd Table inserted

[wubba]

Hello there, I'm new to Dreamweaver, yet alone programming HTML, so please bare
with me...

I'm designing a website for a 1024 x 768 resolution..(I'll worry about higher
res once i figure out this one first!!!) It contains framesets, 1 for the top
(1024 x 105 - banner & navbar) & the main page frame (main page content- rest
of screen). In the main page, I've inserted & created a table of 600 pixels
wide, with plenty of room on the sides for the background. When previewed, it
displays correctly with no horizontal scroll bar activated.

The problem is once i insert another table, same dimension, centered below it,
or copy & paste the same table, I preview & the vertical & horizontal scrolls
are activated. THE VERTICAL SCROLL IS OK!!!, THE HORIZONTAL SCROLL I DO NOT
WANT!!!

i cant understand why it is appearing when there is no other content on the
main page other than the tables and that the tables are only taking up just
over half the pages width!!!???

Someone please help me as the answer may be so obvious, but i just cant figure
it out???... Here are screenshot links of with & without the Horizontal Scroll
bar being activated:

please let me know.

Bear in mind that one does not design sites for resolution. One designs
sites for browser viewport size. My 1280x1024 screen rarely has a viewport
wider than ~750px. By designing for resolution you ignore a) that many
people do not maximize their browser at any resolution, and b) that even
maximized, browsers have 'chrome' that prevents them from occupying the
entire available space.

Why? This is rarely the optimal choice for any site.

The answer is in the code on the page. Screenshots don't show me that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main reason for framesets is that i have a flash banner & navigation bar at
the top which i didnt want refreshed everytime while navigating throughout the
links.
Once complete im hoping to create a highly interactive multimeia site where,
you can order online custom designs & merchandise. Till I learn more & have
enough content, I was thinking of integrating ASP!?..

What format, structure etc, would you recommend for building a site of this
nature???

Flat pages without Flash navigation.
