Safari/frame problem -- white flash before frame loads

[aprilcartergran]

Hi!

First, I just want to say that I didn't design this site; I'm just doing some troubleshooting for the owner. (I never have or will design a site around a frame structure.)

Anyway...

The frames appear pretty okay in Firefox and IE, but in Safari, the bottom-most frame has a flash of white (blank) before its content and background color load. I checked the linked CSS to ensure that the background color is specified, and I even added an inline CSS style on one frame page in case it was taking too much time looking for the tag in the CSS file.

Any ideas why Safari does this? I thought it might be possible that there's a hierarchy of the order in which frames are loaded? If so, how do I manipulate that? If not, any other ideas?

Here's the URL:

Click on the Flash intro to see the frame area. Yeah, I know... frames AND a Flash intro? I didn't do it, I swear... :)

Thanks,
April

Try this for the CSS file
html, body {
background-color:#333;
color:#FFF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:13px;
}

.name {
font-size:15px;
font-weight:700;
}

.published {
font-style:italic;
}

Just wanted to say thanks in advance. I won't be able to try this until later, but I'll let you know if it works. Thanks, Aerospace!

Hmm... that didn't work. Any other ideas, besides making Safari and frames defunct? (haha)

Thanks,
