Why do my frames not work on smaller monitors when they look fine on large ones?

If your frames look great in large monitors but everything gets smashed down in smaller monitors, then you need to take a look at the way you are sizing your frames. There could be one of two problems going on:

1. If you use percentages to size your frames, e.g.

   <frameset cols="10%,30%,*">

   Then when you move to a smaller monitor, the percentages of the screen are going to take up less actual space than on a larger monitor. For example, on a 21" monitor 10% of the space might be 1" of viewable space, while on a 12" monitor, that same 10% might only be 1/4".
2. If you use static widths for your frames, e.g.

   <frameset cols="200,500,*">

   Then when you move to a smaller monitor, there might not be 700+ pixels of viewable space. So content that looked fine on the larger monitor will appear to disappear and require scrolling to the right horizontally to find it.
