Re: [Bodington-developers] Top frame styling improvement - commited to HEAD

[Owen D. <owe...@ou...>]

having spent a fair bit of time on this, i have come to the conclusion that 
the only justifiable solution is to have a vertical scroll bar on the top 
frame, because any other solution prevents users who enlarge their text from 
viewing some of the site content and/or functionality. that is, of course, 
until the dreaded frames are ditched!
