I just finished this website and was responsible for all the coding.

The issue is that right above the ASP search forms on the main page you get skewing when you scroll down then back up. On higher resolutions this wont happen because the forms (in a lower frame) dont scroll high enough to come into any contact with the upper frame.

My boss has been on my case for a few days about this and I have done everything i can think of. Yes I have run the code through W3C and Tidy but the only coming back at this point are the alt="" tags in images.

I would greatly appreciate any help. The entire site is HTML/CSS with ASP forms and Java for Flash embeding and browser detecting.

Again, this only happens in IE to make that clear.

If you need any other information I would be glad to give it to you.

The website is: http://www.chicagotech.com/



Every bit of help is greatly appreciated

Jeez - That reminds of old versions of Netscape when you had nested tables, it would "smear" just like you are experiencing. My thought is to ditch the iframe idea (you are not using foreground for content anyways) and set outer template to a fixed width table or css container. If you remove the multiple levels of nesting, that might halp solve your problem.

I have seen this on a lot of sites, but dont know how to fix it unless maybe you could figure out a way to refresh the page when you go down and back up OR you could just not use frames. No offense, but frames only create more problems. Just let the people scroll the entire page like every other website. Please dont take that the wrong way, your site looks great, but I really dont like frames.

If you view just the lower frame, you dont have that issue.

that would be great if there was an iframe :-p i got locked into frames because that is what the boss wanted so there is no way around that portion of the problem. If the problem lies in all the nested tables that i may be able to fix

trust me, I hate frames as much as the next person, but bossman wanted to be able to see the banner the entire time, and frames SEEMED like the logical choice instead of floating it across the top the whole time

Or just have your boss yell at Bill Gates for a change!

I'd like to yell at Bill Gates for a few things myself

what would happen if you used css and put all the content in one page?
get rid of the frames and on the lower content portion, try putting it into a <div> by using the following and adjust the height and width to meet your needs.

<div style="width:600px; height:600px; overflow:auto;">
Your content
</div>

Compatibility (googled to find this info)
Netscape 4: Incorrect, same as hidden.
Mozilla: Correct
Explorer 4-6 Windows: Correct
Explorer 4 Mac: Incorrect, same as hidden.
Explorer 5 Mac: Correct, but it's difficult to evade a horizontal scrollbar. It has, however, strange bugs when you use an overflow: auto on an element in a nested table.
Opera 5: Incorrect, same as visible.
Opera 7: Correct.
Safari: Correct.

that might work, I will give that a shot first thing in the morning. I have a horrible feeling that I am going to have to re-write the page, and assuming this happens, the whole site will have to be re-written

What EspressoDan said. It's an issue IE has with scrolling...it even occurs with divs sometimes.

i have the same effect of the banner not moving and the background also not moving and i use entirely css and xhtml with divs and all of that, no need for frames IMO.
