Hi,
is it possible to set frame width in a page?
I want my page to be 800x600 but don't know how to force a frame to be a
specified width.
I have a two-row frame, where the second row is broken into 3 columns.

TIA.

Have another read of the section on frames. Specifing the width of frames is
done in the frameset element.

Read the HTML specs - they'll tell you.

Then read David Dorward's response to your post, and do a proper design
instead.

Sadly, yes.

But do your readers want a page that is 800x600?
