Speaking of which, in your site, if I hover over the line 'Brother 
DCP310' which is the longest, the line expands and contracts cyclically 
(the writing moves out from under the pointer when it expands, then it 
contracts, etc). This causes the bottom of the selector to also move up 
and down. If this selector would be a frame pane then the frame would 
constrain it. This is my problem. I cannot tell the frame what size it 
will be without describing ALL distances (including fonts etc) in 
pixels. That would be a bear.

So far the only way I can solve it is to specify and iframe and hope for 
the best if the contents are too small to fill it. html sucks.
