Hi

I have a frames page with a top and bottom frame page.
I would like the top frame to be completely invisible, currently I have it
set to a height of 1 pixel, but that still is not good enough.

I am using the frames page to make it appear as though a visitor does not
leave the website by seeing the address change from one domain to another.
i.e
www.mywebsite.com
visitior hits a link which is actually on another server, but do not want
the URL in address bar to change to i.e
www.anothersite.com/newpage.htm

In Netscape 4.7 but not netscape 6.0 the blank top frames page is quite
thick 3 or 4 pixels in height and one pixel in height on IE 5.0.

I am hoping to make a seemless transition between servers with this
strategy.

Or if there are completely different ways to do this, I would appreciate any
help.

thanks

chris

Jan Ehrhardt recently discovered that 
rows="100%,0\*"
would be the best solution.

Looks weird, but it works.

Instead of making a top and a bottom, couldn't you just make it one frame.  Be
sure to set the border=0 so that you don't see it. Something like this:

<frameset rows="1*" cols="1*" border="0">

Didn't try to see if it worked...  :-)  But then you can.

Actually it must be rows="0\*,100%" to make an invisible *top* frame.
