Frameset nightmare

IE6 frame probs......

[webgirl]

Hi,

I recently had to build a site in frames (under much duress I'd like to add!) and it went live ok about a month ago, however since then we've had a couple of people emailing in saying that when you click on a link on the menu it's re-populating all of the frames with that menu page.

It's apparently happening on PC IE6 but I can't replicate it! In fact, I can't get it to break at all, no matter what browser/platorm I check it on.....

Has anyone come across anything like this before? Are there frame/IE bugs that I need to be aware of? I usually run the other way when it comes to frames so I'm not very knowledgable on bugs/fixes etc....

Thanks in advance,
Kate

I've never had a problem with IE breaking in frames, but you might want to check that you don't have any conflicting 'target' declarations.

In the frame:
<frame name="contents" target="main">

On the page:
<base target="banner">

In the anchor:
<a href="thispage.htm" target="contents">

This could certainly muck things up and it might be that different browser installs handle conflicts in different ways.
