frames display in Internet Explorer

M

mark1

I have created a series of frames pages within a web site
with each page having multiple frames. The pages display
properly in Netscape 7.x but only a single frame is
displayed when using MS Internet Explorer 6.x as a browser.
How do I get IE to display the frames?

Your frames are illegally dimensioned and too large (and allow no floats)
- plus you have turned off most scroll bars (leave one on or set to auto)

You have
<frameset rows="103,425" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">
<frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src="bannerframepage.htm">
<frameset cols="137,475*,558*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="pagelinksframepage.htm" scrolling="no" noresize>
<frame name="main1" scrolling="no" marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" noresize src="Sea-Stacks-Portf.htm" target="_blank">
<frameset rows="164,*">
<frame name="main2" src="LandscapePortfNav1.htm" target="_top" marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" scrolling="no">
<frame name="main" src="landscapestoc1.htm" scrolling="no" target="main1" marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" noresize>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>

Change the outer main frame set to include a float (so screens larger than 628 work)
<frameset rows="103,*" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0">

The line <frameset cols="137,475*,558*"> adds up to 1170 and you can't include the * in the size
- so in most cases (if it were correct) most users would only see ~ 150 of the 3rd frame at 800x600
Change it to say: <frameset cols="137,475,*">

- IMHO
change the 475 to about 325 and redesign the page table to be slightly larger than the image
and also redesign your right 2 frames to be about 200 px wide tables (vertical stack w/ scroll bars automatic)
- your bottom right completely falls apart since it is not in a table
