Help with frames...

Hello,

I'm just learning how to do web design and am doing a friends website using html, frames, and css (and a wee little bit of javascript).

Anyhow, the site is working just fine on my mac (safari browser) but it is not showing up on my pc (internet explorer).

Could someone possibly take a look at it and maybe give me some hints on how to fix it? I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance!

Thinking back to the days when I did frames (I hate them.... bad, bad... frames = bad!!) I never remeber specifying measurement units in the frame declaration. In your frames page, try dropping the 'px' leaving just the numbers.

Dunno if this works, but without getting my 1997 head outta the closet, it's my best guess.

hi

the problem is you closed the frames tag and then reopned it. IE must just want to makes its own rules up. i dont know why it does it. but what you need is this:

Code: Select all

<html><head><title>Ten18Films  |  EVENTS</title>
</head>

<frameset rows="115px,*" border="0" frameborder="no">

<frameset cols="80%" border="0" frameborder="no">
	<frame src="navigation.html" scrolling="no" noresize>


<frameset cols="*,250px,460px,*" border="0" frameborder="no">

	<frame src="black.html" name="blackleft" scrolling="no" noresize>
	<frame src="eventslinks.html" name="eventsleft" scrolling="no" noresize>
	<frame src="events/5.html" name="eventsright" scrolling="no" noresize>
	<frame src="black.html" name="blackleft" scrolling="no" noresize>
</frameset>



</html>

But robs right - frames are not worth the hassle they will give you or your users to your website.
anyways - ttfn

Thank you so much...its working now. I realize frames are the devil and whatnot, but since I'm still learning, thats about the most I know. I'm starting to teach myself javascript and whatnot, but like I said, I'm still a beginner. Frames was the only way I knew how to go about trying to get it to work.

THank you both again.
