Sizing Issues Between IE and Netscape

Frames page slides under left navigation

[Litefoot]

Hello folks! Hope you all are doing well.

My problem is a site I'm reworking for a local club. It's built using frames (top, left for navigation and the main body for content).

When viewed in IE (no matter what resolution), it shows fine. Just the way I intended. But, when it is viewed in Netscape at 800X600, the main page will shift under the left frame! At 1024X768 it views as well as in IE.

I've yet to figure this one out. I have built a couple other sites using frames without a hitch. I've even gone into them to see if there was something I'd done differently.

I have this embarrassing feeling it will be some little something I've overlooked... ;) Any ideas?

Look deeper at your previous efforts that do not exhibit this tendency - it is in the code.

A line of code is present in your new DOC that is being read by Netscape and not by IE, i would say it has something to do with PAGE resizing on different resolutions, hence IE is treating the entire set of DOCS as 100%, whereas Netscape is reading something else! Print out the code for your old sites, and for the new one, and go line by line - you'll find it.

Did you build in DW MX ..have you inadvertantly toggled the NS size fix?

Yes, it's got to be in the code somewhere. I'll find it. As for what editor was used? It is FP '03. I also thought of the Netscape resize function like Dreamweaver MX has but FP doesn't have it (that I know of).

I have both DW-MX and FP'03. This particular site was originally built in FP and I planned to keep it so to hopefully ward off any of Murphy's Law type issues. ;)

Maybe if I print out the code from each browser I might find what I'm looking for...

Thanks!
