Okay, but aesthetically it would look better to remove the white iframe
border (or make it black) and have the scroll bar touching the right hand
edge of the table. The scroll bar also need to be changed to match a colour
(rust/mustard) of the rest of the design.
I can't see how to work into the iframe to define these things (using
FrontPage2003). Can it be done!?

I'd thought this was done Dynamically and started the thread here (where
iframes were suggested):

I've since found that ''inline frame Properties'' will solve a couple of the
problems - just need to make the scrollbar colour more sypathetic to the
design.

To begin, you have a very nice looking design, but IFrames as you are
finding out have their limitations.

I would suggest taking a look at my Calendar page (ignore the phantom
right-most scroll bar if you see one),
it uses a div with overflow: auto; instead of and IFrame.

Because I have the on-page submenu, the top of the content wants to go to
the top of the page, and 'dive under' the header. That's why I have limit
the height of the content, and also to accomdate IE6 without using any
hacks.

Since you don't have any of those concerns, don't be bothered by the extra
complexity of my page, just look at what you need.

If you use a wide enough div, you can get the scroll bar close to the right
side and away from your design.

You realize that even though you can change the scroll bar color scheme, it
only will be visible in IEx, no other browser honors scroll bar color
schemes!

What you are doing is not limited by FP, IFrames are the problem, that why
my suggestion.

Here's the important section of my CSS file (
http://mmrose.home.comcast.net/mikes.css ), and a link to the Calendar page.
( http://mmrose.home.comcast.net/calendar.htm )

#calendar-include body {
height: 100%
}

#calendar-include #header {
position: relative;
margin: -1.5em auto 0 auto;
padding-bottom: 3%;
top: 0;
width: 90%;
height: 9%;
}
#calendar-include #header p {
background-image: url(backgrounds/bggradient.png);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: repeat;
}
#calendar-include #content {
overflow: auto;
position: relative;
top: 0;
margin: 1em auto 0 auto;
width: 100%;
height: 83%;
}

For your scrollbar try this. Paste this somewhere between <style> and
</style> in the head section (play with the colors as you see fit):
body {
background-color: #8C2E00;
font-family: verdana, arial;
scrollbar-face-color: #8C2E00;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #cccccc;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFD700;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFD700;
scrollbar-track-color: #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
}
