I’m a PC and Xara novice HTML it’s a foreign language to me

Think I get it now. The frameset in the posted link is in focus from loading. Thanks Steve.

Here's an alternative method which disables the body scroll bars and leaves the mainframe scrollbars to activate via mouse wheel without clicking (export and view in browser *not* xwd/xtreme preview).

Thanks Steve

Is that due to the scrolling=auto bit of the code?

**steve.ledger** · 20 October 2009, 02:33 AM

No - have a look at the black dot placeholder on the paste board (named <head>)

scrolling=auto simply tells the browser to generate a scrollbar automatically if there is content which exceeds the space available in the browser window, in other words, if there is 'overflow' make a scroll bar.

scrolling=no tells the browser to butt out because you (the designer) do not want a scroll bar

Right! I've saved the .xar with my other mini-tuts. It's not the kind of intuitive coding I can sometimes remember!

Thanks very much Steve.

Thanks John and Steve I’m going to have a look at Gary’s workbook could I please get back to you both if I’m struggling

This HTML it’s a foreign language to me

Remember Clive, HTML knowledge is *optional*.
Web Designer (in particular) has been created for people such as yourself who have *absolute zero* knowledge of HTML. You don't need to know any, seriously - none!

It is completely optional to start using third-party code in placeholders, yes it extends the possibilities, but you can produce websites using Xara's software without it.

So don't worry about HTML (unless you really want to).

Hi Steve

Been working on the inframe got it working

Looks like a lot hard work I’ll just carry on as normal

Thanks for all the help from

John, Steve and Gary
