sending out an SOS - not a n00b Question but very complicated

[SHiKai webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

hey everybody,
i run a Photoshop Tutorial site called [url]http://www.designerdrugs.tk[/url]

you might want to take a look at my site, cause i have a complicated problem

i just finished my new layout but i encountered a major problem, i designed my site so that people who have a 1280x1024 resolution (like me) see the site completely without having to scroll.
the site specs are 600 width and 850 height, i made my site so that a 1024x768 visitor would only have to scroll down a little bit, a 150-200 pixels

i did not use Tables

i used three frames:
(left border, top (navigation) and a mainframe in which the pages are shown when clicked on a link), each frame equals a page, so i have three pages

these three pages have a background image, slices from Photoshop, i positioned my frames so my three slices (=my three bg images) fit smoothly and only appear once, cause normally a bg image "repeats" itself
I did this by saving the three frames as a frameset and then i created a page that keeps the frameset in a rectangle with the exact size of 600x850, people who have a higher resolution, see a white "page" around my three frames, people who have a smaller resolution don't see the blank pages, but just the site


i gave the mainframe scrollbars because it is necessary for my tutorials, which are sometimes very long or just longer then 850 high, i did this by clicking in the frames palette on the frame and setting the value of scroll to YES

what i can't have is that my other two frames have separate scrollbars, it's ugly and very messy and not what i had in mind, (so i set the value there to scrolling=NO), they need to scroll down by using a "general" scrollbar such as the one as i see on this page on the left, i want my entire site to scroll down and not just the left frame or just the top frame

my question: how can i make my entire site scroll down??
pls keep in mind that i "boxed" my frameset in a rectangle

because i use frames, 1024x768 visitors don't see a scrollbar to scroll down, how can i fix this


Kind regards and ThX in Advance to the one(s) who can help me out

ThX for the suggestions Alan & ThX Jordan for your comment

you're right about the frames, they cause more problems than they solve...
i still have to learn a lot when it comes to webdesign, but i've learned some
valuable lessons here

lets hope all these problems are solved in the next DesignerDrugs version!

ThX everyone and feel free to send/post your site url to me, i would love to
see some professional sites at work
