GoLive Frames in Explorer

I'm using frame-set as my main page layout - in Safari it views fine (Borders set to 0), but in Explorer it shows the borders. How can i fix this.

Post a link to your page, please.

Frames are rarely the optimal choice for your layout. Why are you using
them? They come with many dowsides....

I suppose because its the only way I know how for the header and index page not to reload for every new page. www.satruckbodies.co.za . Linda

Aha. Well, that's not a good enough reason. Having the header (~30K)
reload on each page would be undetectable on today's fast machines since all
of those graphics would be pulled from the browser's local site cache. But
I'm not sure what you mean by reloading the index page.

Anyhow, as far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of frames and
their potential problems can be found on these two links -

http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/frames/

It would be worth your while to read them so that you can undestand what you
are giving away by using frames rather than flat pages (and perhaps
templates or server-side includes to make your maintenance life easier).

You can try changing this -

<frameset cols="5%,799,5%" border="0" framespacing="0">

to this -

<frameset cols="5%,799,5%" border="0" framespacing="0" frameborder="no">

and see if that helps.

Thanx. I'll let you know on the outcome. L

You're welcome. Please do. And if I can persuade you to abandon the
frames, I'll be a happy man.

If you are referring to Internet Explorer for Mac, you should also abandon that. It's a dead app and no substitute for evaluating your design in Internet Explorer for Windows. They are two very different beasts.

I abondoned the frames - all single pages now. Seems OK - a bit slow for me, and now when one button/link is incorrect (which happened) - instead of correcting it in one frame - I had to change it in about 60 pages.

You are making your life really difficult.

I think you ought to investigate GL's components. A menu stored as a
component only needs to be modified *once* and GL will automatically
update all pages the component is used on. I also recommend you read up
on templates while you're at it.

Both are great time saving features.

Alternatively, if you want to use a non-proprietary approach to this, read
up on server-side includes. They will work the same ways as GL's
components, but will not require that you have GL to manage them. One file.
One edit. One upload. Instant effect on all relevant files at the server
level.
