Basically, it's 2 columns, with the left column having two rows. The upper row ("pagelist") link displays thumbnail
images in the lower ("page") portion, when when clicked on, display the full image in the body (main column on
the right).
Results:
Using IE6 on one PC, frames initally work, but as soon as I click on a link in "pagelist", the frame disappears
and instead, the html for the page it references it displayed.
However, other internet web pages using the same frame design work correctly.
Using Opera 6.03 (emulates IE5.0), everything works correctly (for the local & internet version of the pages).
On another PC:
Using IE6, everything works correctly.
Using Netscape Communicator 4.77, same problem as above.
I've also check the IE6 settings on both PCs, seem to be the same. First PC is probably a bit more patched with
security from Microsoft, but they are not very far apart.
Also, on the first PC, using FrontPage 2000, and running the FP web server, works fine in FP.

Any idea why this isn't working properly?
Thanks in advance.
as soon as I click on a link in "pagelist", the frame disappears
and instead, the html for the page it references it displayed.
Because of this I would suspect something in the code for the page being referenced. either icar-1.htm and/or ultimate-1.htm. The basic frameset structure looks fine. And as you said, it's working in other situations.
Debug Step One: validate the HTML of all pages.
You can try it at [bleep!]
Here's the code for travel-1.htm
<html><head><title>Travel Page # 1</title>
</title></head>

[edit reason] sorry, no specific references to sites. [/edit]
Run your pages through a validator [validator.w3.org] to catch that kind of thing. I think you may have other unclosed tags.
Also, your <noframes> section is misplaced, but I doubt that this is causing your problem. The correct placement is INSIDE the <frameset></framset> tag:
<frameset>
<frame></frame>
<noframes></noframes>
</frameset>
PS. Didn't know not to put specific references to sites.
