Hello everyone~

Sorry to be bothering you all.. I did a search to try and find an answer to my problem, but couldn't find anything. ><

I'm not really sure how easy it is to fix this, or if it even can be fixed.. I wish I knew php better.

Anyways! My problem is that I'm trying to make a website with frames, with my blog showing up on the large right frame. When I view it in my Firefox browser, everything shows up perfectly fine, but when I try viewing it in Internet Explorer, all that shows up are the two vertical boarder lines.. everything else is white.

Reallyyyy hope this won't be too hard to solve! Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Do you have a link so we can see?

Yep, here's a link to the page:
http://www.tsubaddicted.net/home.htm

Just click on the 'blog' link.

Hi Personman,

Thanks a lot for the link~ Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem though. ><

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Now that I see the page I see that the vertical lines are the style of your main frame rather than the frame border I thought you were speaking of. I got the same results as you when I tried the page in Firefox and in Internet Explorer.

My first inclination is to say that [url=http://www.apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php]frames[/url] are not really the tool for this job. You coulde embed your navigation code into all the pages using server side includes, or php includes. [url=http://www.brendoman.com/dbc]my site[/url] has a blog, about me page, and a gallery, and I was able to get the navigation links at the top to look the same across all of those pages. Frames create a lot of usablity problems. CSS and PHP could do the job much better.

But if you do decide to stick with frames, then here are some ideas for making it work. If you view source on the right frame after clicking the blog link, you can see all the code for your blog. It's there, but it may not be getting parsed as php by the server. First, try to put the full filename in your link, so instead of

http://www.tsubaddicted.net/blog


do

http://www.tsubaddicted.net/blog/index.php

If that doesn't work, then problem could be coming from trying to load a php page inside a file with the .htm extension. Try changing the filename of home.htm to home.php.

Let me know if either of these help.

Thanks alot for your help~ but nothing seemed to work.. so I just made it so the blog would open in a separate window~

But now the blog is doing the exact same thing, even when it opens in a separate window!

ARGHHHHH, this is driving me absolutely insane! Internet Explorer is such a pain in the ass!! Would anyone know whyyyyy the blog isn't showing in IE anymore? It used to.. and I don't remember doing anything that would make it stop showing... I'm so confused. T_T *Hates IE*

The bug looks like it's in your skin. I tried displaying your blog with the basic skin in IE and it worked:
http://www.tsubaddicted.net/blog/index.php?skin=basic

Try switching to one of the stock skins and see if you can confirm this. If so, then just remake your customizations one at a time, checking the page in IE. If the bug shows up again, you'll have a better chance of knowing what's causing it.
