Problem with frames

**Litiumtomu** · 12-03-2004, 12:37 PM

Hi all.

I'm pretty new with HTML and I'm having this annoying problem with frames in IE. Site works fine with Firefox.

Check it out:

I know that I shouldn't use frames but I'm not familiar enough with CSS.

Please help me.

I think that everyone around here noticed my problem? Yes, that's it - the "white stripe" that's is showing above the menu. Here's the code that I used in menu.

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title></title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

var browser;
nimi = navigator.appName;
versio = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);

if ((nimi == "Netscape" && versio >= 3) || (nimi == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && versio >= 4))browser=true;

function paalla_1() {if (browser){document.nappi_1.src = "kuvat/0202b.gif";}}
function pois_1() {if (browser){document.nappi_1.src = "kuvat/0202a.gif";}}

function paalla_2() {if (browser){document.nappi_2.src = "kuvat/0204b.gif";}}
function pois_2() {if (browser){document.nappi_2.src = "kuvat/0204a.gif";}}

function paalla_3() {if (browser){document.nappi_3.src = "kuvat/0206b.gif";}}
function pois_3() {if (browser){document.nappi_3.src = "kuvat/0206a.gif";}}

function paalla_4() {if (browser){document.nappi_4.src = "kuvat/0208b.gif";}}
function pois_4() {if (browser){document.nappi_4.src = "kuvat/0208a.gif";}}

function paalla_5() {if (browser){document.nappi_5.src = "kuvat/0210b.gif";}}
function pois_5() {if (browser){document.nappi_5.src = "kuvat/0210a.gif";}}

</SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>

Hi, welcome to the forums.

The source page ( http://personal.inet.fi/koti/litiumtomu/majavakauppa/valikko.htm ) for that frame, try adding

Code:

<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
</style>

to the <head> of the document, and see if hat helps. Post back and let us know.

Hi, and thanks for the tip. Unfortunately that didn't work. I wonder where I have made a mistake..

Well..anyway I zipped whole webpage if anyone is intrested to look the code. You could download it from http://personal.inet.fi/koti/litiumtomu/sivusto.zip if you're interested.

In case you wonder the language - it's finnish

Its the frame size thats doing it, I think. I can't be sure becuase there are SO MANY frames in there.

I cannot see any need for frames in that site, never mind 9 of them. I would consider redoing the site in a single page without frames. If nothing else, it will improve: Accessability, Validation, Maintainability..and of course this problem would disappear.

I thought starting all over again too but my knowhow is what it is. I actually don't understand how I could make that "textscreen" -effect whitout frames. I also wonder how could I make the site look the way it looks now. Could it be done only with tables?

*yawn*

But if anyone have good tips or ideas I'm ready to listen. Now I'm going to sleep - It's 1.30 at night in Finland right now. Good night everyone. And big thanks to QuietDean. I check this thread first thing in the morning.

OK - I got the problem solved and website it's running perfectly. What did I do? I listened someone smarter than me

There is no more frames. Working site could be found http://personal.inet.fi/koti/litiumtomu/majavakauppa for a while if you're interested. And please, tell your opinion also. Thanks.
