Update help and advice please

Hi:

My two websites date from the Ark, and I would like to upgrade/start
again. Please advise me where to go to get the latest reliable reference
to HTML etc. I'd prefer a book: my last buy was in 1999 (!) Osborne's
_Complete Reference to HTML_. What is the equivalent in 2007?

The reason for all this is that I discover Firefox 2.0.0.6 can't see my
frames, unlike 2.0.0.4.

Any help gratefully received.

Hugh

Post a URL so that we can see it, there's probably some simple short-
term fix for it.

Very many thanks for your help. I'm sure you're right that I've mucked
it up somehow trying to get it to work again.

Which frames can you NOT see?

This is weird. It seems to be working now. But it *really* wasn't last
night. Clicking any of the navigation frame links produced that page in
full frame, IYSWIM. The header and nav frames were overwritten. I'd
better leave it for now. I don't see how it can work one afternoon, but
not in the evening before! I'll get back to you if it throws another wobbly.

But all your help is invaluable. Thank you all.

I can't see _anything_.

Come back in an hour or two when my eyeballs have recovered from the
glaring yellow and green colour scheme!
The obvious suckage here is the bogus doctype declaration that
HotMetal has stuck on the top of the pages. I suggest that the OP
manually cut and paste an appropriate one for HTML 4.01 Transitional
with standards-based rendering (copy it from Henri Sivonen's page, as
listed previously).

Then poke at it with the HTML validators, Tidy etc. There's a lot you
_could_ improve, but as far as a "frame based legacy page" goes,
there's nothing that's _obviously_ wrong with it (There might be, but
with that bogus DTD it's too awkward to tell automatically as yet).

I'm seeing all the frames I'd expect to see, and that's with FF 2.0.0.6

Was your CTRL key stuck? In Windows and Linux CTRL + Left Click opens
link in a new tab by default...

Don't think so.

I'll try that too.

I'll work at all that and get back to you-all.

Hope you get your eyesight back soon.

Thanks again

Whatever colour you pick, turn down the saturation to about half what
you expected. If someone sees it less strongly than you do, they won't
mind. if they see it more strongly than you do (and that includes the
majority of Mac users), then they're likely to find their eyeballs
rolling around on the floor afterwards. Better too subtle than too
heavy.

Hi, I have a relativley large/complex typed dataset that contains 7-8 tables and some supporting relational tables (lookups) for many-to-many relations. A good exampel would be a dataset that contained the whole Northwind database with all tables and relations.
