Hi,
I dislike frames, but a client wants them.
I was wondering if anyone knew why I am getting a problem with my Frames-based site only in (surprise, surprise) IE.
http://monkeyfood.com/design/collinslong/collins4/
on IE:win the middle frame has an annoying horizontal scroll-bar.
on IE:mac the middle frame is not even rendered.
Safari, Moz FireFox and Opera render it properly.
Anyone have any clue why?
Here is the code for the frame page:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>collins long</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="css/frameStyles.css" type="text/css" media="all"/>
</head>
<!-- see http://academ.hvcc.edu/~kantopet/xht...t=xhtml+frames -->
<frameset rows="203px , * , 70px" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">
<frame
id = "navFrame"
name = "navFrame"
src = "navFrame.html"
scrolling = "no"
frameborder = "0"
marginheight = "0"
marginwidth = "0"
noresize="noresize" />
<frame
id = "middleFrame"
name = "middleFrame"
src="whatAreWe.html"
frameborder = "0"
marginheight = "0"
marginwidth = "0"
noresize="noresize"
/>
<frame
id = "bottomFrame"
name = "bottomFrame"
src="bottomFrame.html"
scrolling = "no"
frameborder = "0"
marginheight = "0"
marginwidth = "0"
noresize="noresize" />
</frameset>
</html>

Hey diggory
re: the horizontal scrollbar. I think you'll be specifying a 100% width for something in the page that's in the middle frame. Try knocking it down to 99%. That ususally gets rid of the scroll bars for me.

yeah i've just checked your css file, and i think all the padding on #maincontent is causing it the scrollbars to appear.
I tried adding a width: 95%; in your #maincontent and it got rid of the scroll bar.

The frame not rendering in IE on the mac is an easy one to fix:
change:
Code:
<frameset rows="203px , * , 70px" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">
to
<frameset rows="203px,*,70px" frameborder="0" framespacing="0">
that

Certainly were
I can't believe the IE parsing problem with the middle frame. Every other browser deals with it fine. You think that's an example of sloppy MS programming?
