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.

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.)

This topic is now closed to further replies.
