My site uses framesets. I have a menu frame on the left side of the screen and the main frame is the rest of the screen.
When I go into some screens through a framesetting page there will be a horizontal scroll bar on the main frame. Yet when the same page is loaded into the main frame without using a framesetting, there is no bar.

For example:

<frameset>
<frame src="menu" target="menuframe">
<frame src="home" target="mainframe">
</frameset>
will put a scroll bar at the bottom of mainframe.

Yet, if somewhere in the site, I
<href="home" target="mainframe">
there is no scrollbar.
This happens only in Netscape not in IE.

To get this effect on my site click on Plans Index and then Stilt Chair, there will be a scroll bar. If you then click on Drawing, the scroll bar will disapear.

What gives? and How can I avoid the scrollbar?

A few tips:-
=====
Use <table width="100%"> not <table width="numbers">

Make sure than your images' width are smaller than the width of the main frame.
======
Basically, the horizontal scrollbar appeared because your contents didn't fit the frame.

No horizontal scrollbar there.

No, I'm not forcing the content to be wide. I'm writting it off as a wierd responce of this version of Nestcape.
