beginning web pager. Guitar Tabs

This is a beginning web page for guitar players to use.
I tried to make it work with frames and so far, so good.
Some things I would like to do, however, are to:
1. Get the scrollbar to appear only if the person viewing it needs it (at my
resolution, I don't need it, but users have complained about not being able
to see all the songs listed). Is that even possible?
2. Make the scroll bar match one of the colors on my page, probably the
gold.

If you can be of any help, even if it is just pointing me to a concise
tutorial, please let me know....
Please be kind!
Thanks,
B

What is? I don't see a URL.

That's what _you_ think.

Without a URL it is impossible to tell. But the frames are probably
causing at least part of that problem.

NOOOOOO! It's my browser, not yours. The scrollbar is part of my
browser, not your site. Leave it alone.

Luckily for me my browser doesn't allow such nastiness.

LOL. This is usenet. But we only do it because we care.

But .... but ...... if it's IE it belongs to Bill G.

For the benefit of advanced designers, Bill provides the ability to
manipulate the colours on *his* browsers
