I made a frameset based website! All looks fine in Netscape, Opera an in Firefox, but in IE, where in middle frame should be only a vertical scrollbar appears horizontal scrollbar!
Now to solve this problem???

The main file (called index.php):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Magis staff</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1257">

<!-- Level 1 -->
<frameset rows="21,*,21" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">

<frameset cols="*,750,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="left.php" name="LeftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

<frameset rows="195,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="navigation.html" name="Navigation" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<frame src="main.php" name="body" scrolling="AUTO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
</frameset>
<!-- //Level 3 -->
<frame src="right.php" name="mainFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

<!-- //Level 2 -->
<frame src="copyright.html" name="Copyright" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
</frameset><noframes></noframes>
<!-- //Level 1 -->
</html>

The file main.php which has auto scrollong, has such a code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>main.php</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1257">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css">
</head>

<body>
<br />Some kind of text!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Some kind of text!<br />
</body>
</html>

Tohuse <br /> I put there to test scrollbar!!!

What's in the CSS?

Also, you could replace all the '<br />' with '<div style="padding-bottom:50em;">&nbsp;</div>' or something like that. Might clean things up a bit.

CSS has only script about colors of scrollbars and font-family for body!
Ok! I`ll try out add thouse divs!

The <div> that I wrote wasn't to solve the issue. It was just a replacement for all the <br /> tags that you had. A shortcut if, you will, to adding vertical space to a page.

I believe your problem lies within:
<!-- Level 1 -->
<frameset rows="21,*,21" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="top.php" name="SearchBar" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<!-- Level 2 -->
<frameset cols="*,750,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="left.php" name="LeftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<!-- Level 3 -->
<frameset rows="195,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="navigation.html" name="Navigation" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<frame src="main.php" name="body" scrolling="AUTO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
</frameset>
<!-- //Level 3 -->
<frame src="right.php" name="mainFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
</frameset>
<!-- //Level 2 -->
<frame src="copyright.html" name="Copyright" scrolling="NO" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
</frameset><noframes></noframes>
<!-- //Level 1 -->

I don't use frames anymore myself but thats the most confusing framset that I've ever seen! I would guess that the "*,750,*" declaration is the culprit.

that *, 750, * makes all to appear in middle of page!!! I guess u know that Silmaril8n!

This frameset makes scrollbar to appear in that place where I want it, it wount appear in left side of browser!!! It will be somewhere in middle where I want it to be!

An example u can see here: http://www.ramsons.co.jp/

<frameset rows="104,*,87" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" border=0>
