frameset attributes in PC vs. Mac

having trouble getting Mac to recognize frameset attributes on a Mac

[girllikeme]

I made a page with frames using Dreamweaver MX on the PC. However, when viewing the page in a Mac, none of the attributes are recognized... like no scrollbar, scrollbar color attributes, and no border (so it looks absolutely awful on the Mac). Is there any way to solve this problem?

Help!

Welcome to Webmaster World!

The first step would be to validate your markup [validator.w3.org] and CSS [jigsaw.w3.org]... That's always a good start.

Which browsers are you using on Windows and Mac OS? It's almost certainly down to the differences in browsers that you are testing on, rather than the operating system itself.

Well, I have tried Mozilla, Safari, Netscape, and IE on the Mac some of them recognize one or two of the attribute settings, but never all of them ( I am thinking that specifically none of the browsers on the Mac are recognizing the color attribues to the scroll bars) (another example is that both IE and Netscape are putting in scrollbars on the frame even though I specified to have NO scrollbars)

... and IE on PC (which is recogizing all of the atttributes).

Most of the attributes you are trying to use are propietary IE Windows things, they are not part of CSS or HTML standards as far as I know, which is why they aren't working on standards compliant browsers as a set, although each browser tends to throw in support for one or another of these.

Are you trying to do this all through CSS? As far as I know CSS has no support for borders on frames, correct me if I'm wrong here.

Test it in some other Windows browsers. You may not have been aware of this, but Mac IE is completely different from Windows IE.
