is there a command for setting page length? Thanks,

The length of a web page? You can use CSS:

body {height: 500px;}

I use frames and I need a longer page size known when frames are configured, I define and use the following:

frameset {height:1000px}

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I just don't think I can create a selector and it will work. Is there any other ways I can try? Thanks,

First question - why are you using frames?

I suggest you rethink in terms of a frameless layout and then use css as has already been suggested to control your page size.

There are a number of settings you can use that will effectively give you a dynamic page length.

My client wants to try out frames. I'm aware that many people don't like frames. I'm a very experienced kernel programmer but lack of much
website knowledge. I don't think I know the subject enough to convince my client one way or the other. He himself is website developer of 6-7 years of experience.


O.K., Are there somethings I can do for frame based webpages? Thanks

Without seeming to appear rude - gained when?

Frames are a hang over from days gone by. There is no reason or excuse that I can think of to use them these days.

They are search engine unfriendly but more importantly they are accessibility unfriendly for people using assistive technology.

I'll add my thoughts on frames too, but I realize its not 100% your choice:

Frames are to the internet what an abacus is to modern math; it will work, but why when there are much better tools out there (calculator/CSS)
