iFrames not always visible

I recently redesigned the Classifieds section of the newspaper web site that I work for. Each classified page is created separately in an HTML file and was pulled in using FRAMES. I changed the layout to iFrames. Since this change I've gotten a lot of complaints saying they click on the navigation links and nothing happens. It's blank where the Classified listings should be.

I've done a bit of research and I've read that sometimes Norton will not support iFrames. If that is the case, then is there another alternative to doing these classified ads?

Here is the link to one of the classified catagory pages--
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.butlereagle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=Classifieds01">http://www.butlereagle.com/apps/pbcs.dl ... ssifieds01</a><!-- m -->

Can someone give some advice on how to handle this problem? Thanks in advance!have you specified a frame name
the simpliest and easiest way to link the files to show in the iframe is to give your frame a name, then target your link to it

<iframe src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"YOURPAGE.html" name="iframe" frameborder="0" width="100" height="100" scrolling="yes"></iframe>

then with your link which is meant to bring the data forward to the iframe, set the target as the name of the frame

<A HREF=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"classifieds.html" Target="iframe">


I think their is more modern forms of using iframes and calling on files but i havent used iframes in a long time now and this is the form i remember so other users may be able to update you on more up to date methods but this might get you on the right roadYes, I've given the frame a name.

Here's a sample of my code--

iframe name="adspot" src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"/static/ads/ads99.html" align="top" height="600" width="600" scrolling="yes" hspace="10" vspace="10" frameborder="0">well i guess norton doesnt support iframeyou should examine your code one more time coz if theres something missing, you wont be able to execute your html code properly.
you should try specifying the iframe target. it must be the same with your iframe nameI do have a target named in the link. It's the same as the iframe name--

<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"/static/ads/ads99.html" target="adspot">Articles for Sale</a>

Is that what you were referring to?
