A good way to find the problems is to check the page in validator.w3.org . An obvious error I see is the lack of a doctype for this I would suggest html 4 transitional. w3c.org has information on the doctypes and how to use them in the html 4 spec. Remember as web developers it is your responsibility to know these specs and to use them. That is how it got as bad as it is now with pages being written in any old way and mostly for IE because people did not know the spec.

Well, I tried it in all my available browsers, on PC: IE 5.5 SP1, Opera 5.11, Mozilla 0.9, Netscape 4.7, Netscape 6 and on Mac: IE 4.5. Outside of being way too wide, it renders as I expected, the links all went somewhere, I didn't see a problem.
What version of IE did you test with?
Jeff.

Someone emailed me (bashing my demo) about http://www.freepm.org:8080/FreePM/scheduling
not working.
It worked fine with NS (we try to test with IE too, but it's so painful <s>).
Anyway, I discovered that this code in the index_html (a DTML Method): ------------------------------------ <html> <head><title>FreePM Scheduling</title> </head>
<dtml-let this_year="_.DateTime().year()">
<frameset rows="50,*" marginheight="2"> <frame src="menu" name="sched_menu"> <frame src="<dtml-var this_year>" name="sched_main"> </frameset> </frameset>
</dtml-let>
<NOFRAMES> FreePM requires a frames capable browser for proper operation. </NOFRAMES>
</html>
---------------------------------
Didn't work in IE, but does in NS. this_year resolves to a OFS Folder ID.
If I explicitly point the frame sources like this it works fine in both browsers: <frame src="/FreePM/scheduling/menu" name="sched_menu"> <frame src="/FreePM/scheduling/<dtml-var this_year>/index_html" name="sched_main">
BTW: the error was Not Found in both frames.
Why does IE not resolve those objects correctly?
