This article was previously published under Q160616 SYMPTOMS
In FrontPage Editor, when you view a web page that is taller than 32 KB
pixels, the page may be displayed incorrectly and you may be unable to
use the scroll bar.
NOTE: In Windows NT, the page is displayed as expected, but you cannot
use the scroll bar. In Windows 95, the data will be wrapped from just
beyond the 32 KB limit and it will be drawn over the beginning of the
file. (The data drawn at y = 32 KB + 10 is drawn as if it's at y = 10.
The way the data is displayed does not affect the contents of the HTML
document tree, so saving the file doesn't delete any data.)
CAUSE
Standard Windows scroll bar support uses a 16-bit value internally, so
it may not perform as expected on pages taller than 32 KB pixels (about
40 pages). This behavior occurs regardless of how big the HTML file is.
FrontPage does not have internal routines for handling page scrolling
beyond the limits of the standard Windows scroll bar.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, press CTRL+PAGE DOWN or CTRL+PAGE UP on your
keyboard to view the page.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Pages greater than 32 KB pixels may be extremely slow when they are
loaded in a Web browser. To avoid this situation (and to make the
browsing experience more convenient for the people accessing your web),
split large pages into several, smaller pages.
