Hi

I'm having a major problem. I've created a frameset and it works perfectly in IE, but in Netscape it doesn't work correctly.

I have 3 frames, left, top and main. I have an image in the top and left frame with a blue line down the side of the image acting as a border, and I've set the frames to NORESIZE yet in netscape the frame does re-size and I loose the edge of the images???

Please can someone help. Oh, and I have tried using the Netscape Re-size fix and it doesn't work.


<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>

&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;accessBolton&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;frameset cols="170,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="0" border="0"&gt;
&lt;frame name="main_console" src="left.htm" scrolling="no" noresize frameborder="no" border="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"&gt;
&lt;frameset rows="80,281*" cols="*"&gt;
&lt;frame name="logo_console" src="top.htm" scrolling="no" noresize frameborder="no" border="0"&gt;
&lt;frame name="navigation_console" src="bottom.htm" scrolling="auto" noresize frameborder="no" border="0"&gt;
&lt;/frameset&gt;
&lt;/frameset&gt;
&lt;noframes&gt;
&lt;body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" link="#0000FF" alink="#0000FF" vlink="#0000FF"&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/noframes&gt;
&lt;/HTML&gt;


</font id=code></pre id=code>

Thanx

Paul

i downloaded your code and recreated the frameset you describe. on this machine (windoze 98 with netscape 4.75 and ie 6) it didn't seem to resize the frames as such, so no help there. but i didn't use pages that had images in them that need to join up seamlessly across frames for the whole page to hang together, which i suspect is what you're talking about?

if that's the case, i have noticed netscape implementing frames differently than ie in general (look at www.geog.canterbury.ac.nz in netscape (its main audience), then look at it in ie - see the gaps on the lhs nav bar?!?!). netscape seems to have some kind of invisible borders around framesets that i haven't been able to get rid of no matter how many tag attributes i throw at it. i first struck this a couple of years ago in netscape 4, but i haven't tried netscape 6 yet to see if it's changed - i presume it's a bug/feature of netscape. i'd love to hear someone else has come across this before and knows how to get round it ...

anybody?
