Unhappy Frame problem

I’m making a website for a friend, which comprises of two frames (top and Bottom) centered in the middle of the page. The top frame holds the header and Nav bar while the bottom frame holds the page contents. The top frame is fixed size and the bottom one can increase in height depending on the content. The problem is that in Firefox if the bottom frame is longer than what the screen will hold or if the browser is resized to less than the bottom frame height the scroll bar that appears pushes the bottom frame to left by the width of the scroll bar. This causes miss alignment with the two frames and looks ugly. It doesn’t happen with IE. I looked around and have seen that this is a known problem but can’t find any way to work round it. If there are any web gurus who can point me in the direction of a solution I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

Here is a link to a mock up page to show the problem:

Remnant, I recommend you to avoid using frames, The search engines are having problems reading frames and this will reflect the indexing of your web site in those search engines (like Google - http://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html ). You can read more about the use of frames.

Thanks for the reply.

The other obvious way to do it would be using CSS, but getting cross browser functionality is a nightmare, far exceeding my original problem

All I want basically is a top, middle and a bottom frame, all centered. I want the top and bottom frames to be fixed and the middle frame to be scrollable, seems with today’s plethora of browsers, this simple layout is the unobtainable grail

The shortcoming of frames is very obvious so that similar functions should be used instead of frames.
