Frames, Javascript and IE 5.2 for Mac

P

Pam Johnson

I inherited a realtor web site that uses frames. I tried
to bring the site up on my friend's newish Mac (under a
year) on which they use Internet Explorer v 5.2
I have no idea if this is the latest version of IE for Mac.

The site would simply not display. I could not find any
properties to change on IE. Other non-frames sites I have
designed were fine. I coudl get an individual page to
display if I knew its direct address - but missing of
course the site menu on the other frame.

I also found that sites where I display an image using a
random number generator & Javascript (one of the many
freebies) did not work on that same set up - the top
leverl menu came up, but not the script-generated image
nor the text that succeeds it. Ideas?

Pam:

What is the URI for the site?

IE5.2 is the latest (and last) version of IE for the Mac.

Did you try it in Safari (which will be the browser to be concerned about in
not too many more months)?

Actually, FireFox is the browser to be concerned about in not too many
months.

I like FireFox quite a bit for the PC. I have not used it on the Mac.

The reason I say that Safari is the browser to worry about (and *I* believe
will remain the one to worry about) is that Apple has taken the Microsoft
route now by including it with an OS distribution. In my opinion, people
use what comes on the system. If they have to download and install
something (if they even KNOW to do this), unless they have a compelling
reason, they will always do it 'tomorrow'.

Pam:

The code on the frameset page is a little strange -

<!--ALL text, images, graphics, HTML programming, meta tags, etc. are

</HEAD><CENTER>

<frameset cols="158,*" border=0 frameborder=0>

Try changing </head><center> to </head>, and see what happens. If that
doesn't fix the problem, then try changing this -

<!--DESCRIPTION->

to this -

<!-- DESCRIPTION -->

and see what happens.

You have invalid html in
http://www.cohenwhiteassoc.com/left.html
Delete the </TD></TR></TABLE> in
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="images/side-back.jpg" link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#C0C0C0"
text="#FFFFFF">
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<div align="center">

On http://www.lmbudge.com/ and http://www.stonemarkfinearts.com/
The script with the array opens a comment tag
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!-- Hide me from non-javascript aware browsers

But is missing a closing comment tag before </script>
Add
-- !> before </script>




| URL for frames site is
| http://www.cohenwhiteassoc.com/
| URL for sites with random image displays are:
| http://www.lmbudge.com/
| http://www.stonemarkfinearts.com/
| Thanks for any help.
