I'm curious about the meaning of width="100%". On some pages that I had written, the nav bar that I had created rendered to a 100%, yet the worksheet beneath it (all in the same page) exceeded 100% and thus allowed the user to scroll right, and exposed space where the nav bar had not been painted (regardless, again of the 100% setting for width in the nav bar's table).
I have corrected this by implementing a set of frames, one for the nav bar and one for the core body of the page. However, now ie no longer paints a grayed out scroll bar to the right of those worksheets which fit the 100% width perfectly. Instead, these pages show the empty bgcolor of the page, in the region otherwise reserved for the disabled scroll bar.
If I load the document outside of the frame, straight from disk, it paints the disabled scroll bar. ARGHGHGH.
In Netscape, everything works perfectly.

the scrolling attribute of the frame tag fixes this.
