Hello all 
 
I am trying to find out why my page only supports explorer browsers. I really want to support atleast mac and netscape, but i do not know how to go about doing this. 
 
Any help would be appreciated 
 
-Me-dunno, i dont use frames, i just dont like them.why dont you like them?could be a number of things why. first comes to mind that you didn't use any " in the index page where you frames are set. looks like all one line. 
 
another could be that you forgot a table tag and NS will throw a wrench at teh server to stop. it will not render any table that is empty or tags forgotten, same goes with body or html tags. 
 
let me look at home tonight where I have NS and see what I can see.Thanks Scoutt it is appreciated 
 
-Me-ok I am surprised that IE even worked, oh wait IE will run anything because it sucks. 
 
 
<frameset framespacing=0 frameborder=0 border=0 rows="138,22,26,*1"> 
<frame name=splash src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/splash.htm marginwidth=1 marginheight=0 scrolling=no noresize> 
<frame name=nav src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/nav.htm marginwidth=1 marginheight=0 scrolling=no noresize>

<frameset framespacing=0 frameborder=0 border=0 cols="*1,130"> 
<frame name=main src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/main.htm marginwidth=0 marginheight=0> 
<frame name=side src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/side.htm marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 scrolling=no noresize> 
</frameset> 
 
ok this was your code. tell me what this is "rows=138,22,26,*1" 
 
do you realize how big that is. see tha tback button on your browser, that is how big that frame will be. like I said, IE will run any code, working or not. 
 
so I changed it to this and you will have to play with it and fix your positioning in your html file. you will see what I mean when you load it in NS. 
 
same goes with this cols=*1,130 that will not resize to anything. look at mine and study it as you will see the big difference. 
here is my code and it worked in NS4.79 for me.

and your mouseover buttons don't work. also remember NS is not as forgiving as IE is. if you forget a tag NS will not run.Scoutt thank you much, It is greatly appreciated. Guess It wasnt such a great thing, that i figured out you dont need all that extra mumbo jumbo in IE. 
 
but I am getting a little too anxious and i have decided I can do this from work, so I had my wife reinstall netscape on my pc at home and I am doing this just with the screen shots a friend of mine, herself send me. I think i fixed just about everything, except the main.htm. the problem is I have put a quite large javascript in the news portion of the page, and too be honest, I have almost no idea how it works. I think that is my problem, but it could be the html as well. 
 
anyhelp would be appreciated 
 
-Me-no problem, glad I could help. there is other scripts that work in NS that will do what you want with the scrolling. in fact I think it is somewhere on this forum.ok i posted a new thread in client side scripting...hope that was the right place for it. 
 
One more question, if my page is good in netscape and ie are there many other browsers out there that could pose for incompatability? 
 
Thanks again 
 
-Me-generally if it will run in NS4.7x it should run in all browsers. all of them are pretty close to NS4.xx
