how can I set the size of the coppermine pages ?

[Totoro]

Hello !
First, sorry for my english, I'm french
Second, thanx a lot for Coppermine, you dev team are huge !
My question is quite basic, about personalizing an existing theme : How can i définitively set the size of the pages (height and width), to fit in a frame of my web site and get rid of scroll bars ?
Thx a lot for your help.
Best regards

setting with and height of an html page: not possible at all, as this depends on many factors (depending on theme, coppermine configuration and client sided settings). That's why most designers consider frames as outdated. If you use them, you'll have to live with the drawbacks frames have, one of them being scroll bars.

P.S. There's a french support board as well if you think your english is not good enough, although I think it's fine.

Thanx for your help Gaugau
I solved half of my problem by setting width of the page in the main config settings page. For the height, I'll do with that constraint.
For the use of the frames, I know that it is not the ideal solution, but I'm not good enaugh with html coding to do exactly what I want to do (integrating the Coppemrine pages in my site with a nav bar upside that is made of images, and never relaoded when surfing (to prevent the low speed internet connection of the visitors)
I'll make it my day

nav bar items that appear on every page will be cached by the visitor's browser, so that shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. Nav bar items don't have to be large either.

Thx Gaugau for your help
I solved my issue with editing the theme the way I wanted to do

One last thing, for you : the theme "Styleguide" is not compliant with Firefox , did u know it ? Not a big problem, using IE instead is working well

Firefox users are recommended to use the great extension "Web developer": http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/  to accomplish what styleguide is doing on IE (plus many more things). Thanks for the notification though, I'll look into it asap.

OT and FYI, the AIS Toolbar for IE does many things that the developer extension does for FF http://www.nils.org.au/ais/web/resources/toolbar/index.html

It does a few things that the developer extension doesn't do; so I end up using both when I'm testing specific code.
