While you just learned ways to modify the <frameset> tag, you can also modify the <frame> tag. Two of the ways you can modify the frame is to either allow or disallow resizing and allow or disallow scrolling.

RESIZING:
In the frames that have been made so far, you can resize the frame by clicking on and sliding the border of the frame. Go ahead and try it on this old frame.

To "lock" the frames in place so they can't be moved, you need to add a command to the <frame> command. Easily enough, that command is NORESIZE.

Here's an example:

And here is the set of frames you just saw above with the noresize in place.Click here to see it

SCROLLING
As you may have seen, sometimes a frame will allow you to scroll up and down, and sometimes it won't. You can control whether the scrollbar will show up or not by using the scrolling command.

The scroll command has three alternatives. Scrolling can be listed as YES, NO, or AUTO. In the YES alternative, thre will be a scrollbar, whether it's needed or not. In the NO setting, there will be no scrollbar, even if it's needed. The safest setting is also the default, which is AUTO. AUTO lets the computer decide whether a scrollbar is needed. Here are examples of each:

These commands produce this page.
