Digital Nightmares

Please test this link. I have so far found that Mac users will see the site, but Windows users get a blank page (regardless of browser). Just trying to confirm this. Thanks a lot. If anyone can help me to figure out why this would happen, I would appreciate it.

frames do not require a body tag.  Delete the <body> and </body> tags and it should work.

I have been coding for 8 years and I have not used a body tag for frames and they work in IE, NS, FF, ect.

585699606[/snapback]

I have ALWAYS used the <body> tag; as i learned it (circa 1996-97) you beeded one. Is this a convention M$ destroyed at some point?

AAAHHH frames!!!  omfg *puke*

Do us ALL a favor, and yourself a HUGE one, and stop using frames.  Frames are an easy way to mess up a website.  Just google it...  you'll have all the top 10 reasons quickly.

Bite me. I don't care to learn CSS or Flash, and this allows me to maintain a menu along the side of the screen while content will scroll. BTW, your post was neither informative NOR useful to solving my problem.

yes, it's ur frames that are messed up.

Thank you so much for your help and to all the others that pointed out the <Body> tag for me; suppose I need to buy a newer HTML book since all my HTML is memorized from, like i said, eight years ago...i THINK it was HTML 4....

While the previous poster was rude at pointing out, frames are a very easy way of messing up your site.

You may not like learning CSS or any of that which is a valid argument however tables do a great job as well. Plus you would have never had the issue to begin with as with tables you do use a body tag.

There are alternatives to frames and (un)fortunately those alternatives are pretty much better then then say other topics...(amd vs intel, pc vs mac, etc. etc.)

    • Apple Maps

      By Joni_78 · Posted

      My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
