HTML FRAMES - desparate help needed...?

Question

OK gonna give this one more shot and see if theres anyone at
all out there than can answer it..

the question relates to this web site I'm working on ...
http://www.unnaturalhelpers.com/olivv/cinema_pulp/cinema_pulp.html

the frames are working on IE browsers but the words and frames "squash" up according to the browser window in Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape - type browsers..

please please give the source coded a quick peek and if anyone knows how to prevent this squashing effect on these browsers while using frames I'd be seriously indebted to you..

I'm aware that other sites such as w3c explain the fundementals of how to work with frames - I've tried those in vain, I need someone with the personal knowledge to know if it's possible to prevent this squashing effect while using frames - THANKS !

brians code was a good attempt but still didn't resolve the squashing effect.. I posted it here...

Answer 1

Can you use iframes instead? Here is a version of this that I created with iframes that works OK in both browsers

http://dev.ideanet.org/cir/test.cfm

you should be able to add the name attributes to the iframe tag and reference them just as you would a regular frame so you links and scripts and stuff should continue to work.

Answer 2

Okay, I think you've got too many rows defined. You have:


which defines four rows, but from what I see, you only need three rows of content.

Try:

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">





<- No second column

<- No fourth row;



<- No third column









<br /> This page requires browsers that support frames to be viewed properly.<br /> (also a "Macromedia flash" plug-in)<br /> <br /><br /> <ul><br /> <a href="http://www.mozilla.org" > "mozilla.org" </a><br /> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/"> "FLASH PLUGIN" </a><br /> </ul><br />


I took out a lot of whitespace to use up less pagespace.

When you do a frameset, the values for the rows are either in pixels(px) or in percentages. If you want the page to take up the whole width of the page, try using percentages instead of pixels. You can also use "*" by itself to mean, whatever space is left.

See how that works.
