I have a very strange problem and I think it relates to CSS. On my
development website, the pages display differently then on my production
website.

I believe they are identical NT4 sp6 patched with iis 4.

On my dev box, everthing looks OK, but on the production box I am getting a
scroll bar equal to the right margin in a frame. You cannot get rid of the
scroll bar by expanding the screen. Here is an example:

The reason I think it is CSS related is because I read that CSS will
override margin settings on the page. Also, I noticed that sometimes the
italics are not turned off on the production box when I end classes.

I cannot debug the problem because it does not happen on my dev box. Where
should I look for differences? Help!

I didn't look through all of your code, but I don't think it's a CSS issue.
I didn't see anything right off in your CSS document that would cause issues
with margins, etc. But I did run each of your frames through the W3.org
validator, and there are several errors in those documents. You may want to
correct those errors before continuing the search for other issues:

You have the following DTD in the file AboutUsContents.htm:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"

That particular file is not a frameset! Remove this and it works (at least
for me on IE).
BTW, the Mozilla 1.0 browser doesn't show that problem..

Thank you Patrick, That is the ANSWER!

I thought that since my site was all frames, I should use this standard.
There were also a few errors in the code, namely unclosed tags on some
pages.
