Frames were so nice because they allowed for automatic fractional window amounts. Is this possible easily with divs, or do you have to hard code all the coordinates. "position:absolute" can be difficult.
[I know this is a bit off the focus of the Jmol list, so I'm cross-posting to ChemWebDev.]

There was an earlier discussion about the desirability of managing without frames, so in that spirit, I put together the following with a scrolling div - I had previously used frames with Chime. As long as the div is 'position: absolute' and 'overflow: auto', then it works fine (with Jmol.js):

ps Separate issue - this tutorial also features the consequences of setting the centre of rotation causing the model to be re-centred (subject of another recent discussion). I have bodged it with various translations, but things still jump around a bit, when it would be ideal if they stayed still.

Thanks to all for your prompt replies.
Tim, I wasn't referencing the applet since I am using Jmol.js, as Bob has commented.
Bob, thanks for your extensive and very helpful reply; I know it can be done with tables, but I didn't want to, since I like to have a scrollable text and a common, static model. I hear everywhere that frames are going away, but I still haven't found something that does what you get so easily with frames. Today I have tried to do it with DIVs, but I have gone half-mad wih it.
I already thought that it could have to do with the use of different frames but it was working perfectly with the model in the left-side frame (in fact, a couple of days ago I have ported a whole set of pages using Eric's 2-frame template from Chime to Jmol). Reading Bob, I guess the "looking for frames" routine is finding the applet in the first frame but not in the second one. I will try to use Bob's suggested tweak.
For the record, Miguel, I tested with Firefox 1.0 and IE6.0, both in WinXPpro-sp2. They behave the same (I mean just for this ;-).
Thanks again. I will let you know about my progress.
