Hi Everyone.
I have always used iframes for my designs and I have just launched a new website at http://www.holidoggys.co.uk , I am looking at doing SEO for this site and understand that the frames are going to be a problem and I should use seperate pages, As you can see, at the moment the content fits into the design perfectly as a scrollbar is added when the content exceeds the size of the content box (table width and height).... when I remove the iframe and put the content directly into the table, the content overlaps the height of the table and messes up the layout, how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks
Tanya

put your content in a containing div and use css to control the overflow property

as an example:
http://www.sarimillatrust.org/projects.html - the thumbs are in a containing div

Thanks for replying. What coding would I need to use for the css to control the overflow property, not sure what you mean?

Ok, I have had a little play and got this working and its looking ok, but it also adds in a horizontal scrollbar, how can I remove this?
Thanks

you need to make sure that the width of your content + the scrollbar width doesn't exceed the width of the div

You might want to reconsider that white text on the pale blue background, it's VERY hard to read.

I agree - the white text on pale blue is murder on my eyes; on a more positive note, as a dog owner I think that's a good idea for a site, the wife and I will certainly use it if it works well...
