frameset prob..frames repeating? i dunno..

[select sires]

howdy again..
i have a problem with my frames, but i'm not sure what it is.
im not sure if they're sized wrong, my html is wrong or what..
seems like some frames repeat themselves, others arent showing up..im not sure..
heres an example of what the page should look like:
http://www.foralltimeva.com/correct.gif
and heres the link to what i have:
frameset (http://www.foralltimeva.com/main.html)

the top row has 3 frames, but only the first one appears,
and it starts to repeat.
in my 4th row, i have 5 frames, but it gets funky..i really have no clue..ive tried playing around in hopes of just stumbling upon it, but no go.

any help is appreciated,
thanks in advance (hopefully!)

Wow.. I'd have to say, your images and what they combine to make the final product is really nice. :cool: I looked at your codes, and to be honest it's been awhile since I have been here, so much, I am back to junior member. :p

In any case, I tried different resolutions to view your page in my browser, and depending on what settings I had, it looked good, then for others, wow, badness.

There is however an extra '<' up near one of your META tags.

Another thing, is you are using specific pixel sizes. Different resolution and screen sizes will effect the way peeps see/view your page. Frames are wonderful things, but evil at times. Point being that browsers will or may adjust the row's height etc to make them all fit. Problem uno one. Values will more likely become overridden to make them all (all frames) fit in the 100% width and length of the window. Use with good practice. Otherwise, the user's browser can/will override your specified pixel values (which is what you are using and what maybe happening).

Also, your NoResize attribute on your frames, which is what you want for the images, affects adjacent frames. Conflicts occur. It's hard to honestly get stuff to look exactly the way you want.

Another suggestion, you should include a <noframe></noframe> section for those few browsers that don't support frames or have the frames option disabled thus giving those few visitors something to look at other then nothing. :) Just make sure you got something for them to see ^.~

Other than that, looking good :D.
An idea: why not make a large table to act as your ‘frameset’ taking the full size of the window (100%) and then divide it up into rows and columns. Then you can have the images look right and, have specific values easily used? Tables allow you to specify what sizes you want, and the browsers will just have scrollbars if needed depending on the size of the browser window and resolution.

Now I hope I have made some sense out of this…

Good LUCK! :thumbsup:

------------
Just an addon, if you do go ahead with the table or decide to try this.. there is some source code avaiable in this same section called "100% table height "
Here's the URL if you can't find it. It regards having your table's height to be 100% and as for the table's width, not sure if that will help, but adding width=100% into your table tag should do that trick.

awesome, that makes a lot of sense.
I'm sort of new to all this...:)

ill try trading in frames for tables, that sounds like it will work much better,

Hey, not a problem. It'd be nice to actually see this site when you are done... you mind sending the URL?

:D Ciao

[select sires]

howdy, back with more beginner questions..
If I use tables, then the <td> can't be a .html like in a frame..
so if I need to put info over a background image, do I need
to create a frameset in the <td> in order to do that?
i.e. my mainframe which will have all info..
and, if that is how it is done, won't i run into the same problems i had with using frames to begin with?

thanks again for any help.




once the site is finished, i'll definitely post the addy for a look, and a review maybe.:)
