Hello there, :)
I need a frameset that will have the same look and behavior in Firefox
1.5+ as it does in IE 6+. Here is a URL for it: http://66.51.164.93/fs/default.htm
In IE, the "seam" between the three frames is blue, 4 or 5 pixels
wide, and -- most importantly! -- draggable! It is great -- in IE,
that is. Is it possible to have this same look and behavior in
Firefox?
Here is the code for the frameset:
<frameset name="frameset_0" id="frameset_0" rows="309,*"
framespacing="3" border="0" frameborder="1" bordercolor="#6889BF"><!--
old #879CBF, new #6889BF -->
<frameset name="frameset_1" id="frameset_1" cols="25%,75%"
framespacing="3" border="0" frameborder="1" bordercolor="#6889BF">
<frame name="frame_1" id="frame_1" SRC="./_TEMP_frame.htm"
border="0" scrolling="no" resize frameborder="0">
<frame name="frame_2" id="frame_2" SRC="./_TEMP_frame.htm"
border="0" scrolling="no" resize frameborder="0">
</frameset>
<frame name="frame_2" id="frame_2" SRC="./_TEMP_frame.htm" border="0"
scrolling="no" resize frameborder="0">
</frameset>
Thanks for you help,

Put it though a validator and correct all mistakes, note and
preferably act on all warnings. (You even use an id twice in the

I will concede the duplicated ID error, but I guarantee it has nothing
to do with the nature of my issue outlined above. Furthermore, when I
put the HTML through a validator, I get ZERO errors, and 16 or so
warnings. Every one of the warnings says "Warning: <frame>
proprietary attribute "_____". In other words, I am using "IE only"
attributes. What you don't seem to get is that _IS_ what I am asking
for help with!! Hello, anyone home?
Quoting my original message:
"It looks great -- in IE, that is. Is it possible to have this same
look and behavior in Firefox?"
See? I want help making it look and work like it does in IE, and if
that means using Firefox only attributes, too, or finding the right
"cross browser" non-proprietary properties/attributes, so be it.
Of course I am getting warnings -- if I knew how to do this I wouldn't
be asking this in this group (and getting warnings in the first
place)!
Thanks,
Giggle Girl

Well, I can suggest you forget about anything that is
proprietorial to IE in constructing a webpage or site, how can it
not cause cross browser trouble or be ignored? Hello!
See? I want help making it look and work like it does in IE, and if
that means using Firefox only attributes, too, or finding the right

Use only things you find mentioned at: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html
Also look at your target htmls and note these do not code for
frames, so check the doctype there.

Thank you for that point, Jonathan.
It has led me to tweak things that are giving me better results (like
"draggability") in Firefox. Unfortunately, the same code that works
better for Firefox causes the IE version to look worse, so I may have
to have some sort of detection and use a different frameset for IE and
FF.
Thanks for the lead...

I ran code in the URL through a Validator that is a plugin called
"HTML Validator" in Firefox. Bseides the duplicate ID error, it gave
me only 16 warnings, every one of which was a "Using proprietary IE

would not be possible for me to say "Go to this URL and view it in
IE. _THAT_ is how I want it to look/behave in Firefox. Can you help
me?"
You and "dorayme" don't seem to understand this, yet I feel I cannot
be more clear. Please just ignore this thread. :)
Again, thanks go to Jonathan N. Little who offered something of value
instead of trying to shout me down with some useless mantra. (I have
seen enough threads here to know "Run it through a validator" is the
first line of defense for people that ultimately have the least advice

Ann,
You have billed your situation as a "problem in Firefox," so people
think you mean Firefox isn't working the way it's supposed to (or, as is
more usually the case, the way you expect or hope).
What you really want (and probably should have asked for) is to
"Duplicate proprietary IE frameset behavior in FF."
Dorayme's and Andy's suggestions to validate are surely their way of
pointing out that you code won't likely work with a standards-compliant
browser, so that's probably part or all of your problem. You know it was
non-standard but we didn't know you knew. (Still, having multiple
duplicate IDs can't be helping you any. And you haven't fixed that yet.)
I hope this is helpful or at least, um, enlightening. I regret that I do
not know the technical answer to your (actual) questions. I must confess
a certain lack of interest in achieving this particular task. But good luck.

I was not condoning what you are trying to do, just pointed out an
inconsistency in your markup. You will never get Firefox to "behave"
like IE is this manner because IE attributes are proprietary to
Microsoft just as styling the chrome elements such as scrollbars!

Thanks for your reply, John Hosking. And not just telling me to run
things through a validator, ha! I guess people might get misled by me
saying "Problem with Firefox", but at the same time, it does seem like
an accurate way to describe the problem/issue. Still, no need to
split hairs, we'll call it a "miscommunication".

Jonathan N. Little, have no fear, no one in this group should make
the mistake of assuming since you actually offered me some help, that
you are "condoning what I am doing"! For the record, what I am doing
is _WRONG_. You see, I have paying clients that liked the look and
behavior in IE of a web application I am building, and they want me to
replicate this look/behavior in Firefox. You are not going to believe
it, but they don't care about W3C standards or what kind of code I use
to achieve this result, they just want it to work! In fact, if my
clients had to choose between some devilish tweaks that are not
compliant, but give results darn close to the look and behavior of the
original URL in IE AND Firefox -- I hope you are sitting down for this
-- they would be very happy, and care not one whit about non-compliant
code!
Conversely, it seems that the vast majority of people in this group
live in an ivory tower, and would sooner choose to implement 100%
compliant code according to the W3C, even if it looked like crap and
was broken in 99% of browsers. My guess is when you enter the real
world and have paying customers, you will adjust this view, or change
careers in short order. (If this is a hobby of yours, you are a
student, you work for the government, or live in a communist country,
well, pray that you never have to do this stuff "in the real world"!
You will be in for a real wake up call.)
I am _STILL_ giggling, and _STILL_ thank the people that offered me
help besides "run it through a validator". I am not get bent out of
shape; I knew what I was up against posting in a newsgroup. And, as I
said, I did get at least one helpfull comment, and one (sort of)
sympathetic response, so it was worth the posting.
I remain the Original Giggle Girl!

Of course they don't care, but your own life will be a lot easier if you
keep everything as valid as practicable.

Client: Why can't I go across the river in this Firefox car?
Web dresigner. I'm sure you can. Somehow.
Client: Well, I can go quite safely across the river with my IE. You had
better make it so for my Firefox car as well.
Web dresigner. Hang on a tick... Hello newsgroup. How do I make this so?
Newsgroup: You don't.
Web dresigner: But we can go across the river very easily with with our IE.
We want to be able to so with our Firefox car as well.
Newsgroup: Er, your IE vehicle is a boat.

Well not exactly. I will have "browser sniffing", and put code for
IE6 & 7 similar to what I originally showed, and put different code
for FF 1.5 and 2.0. That will cover 90% of who is out there; other
browsers will be told a message similar to what you mentioned.
The code for FF will be whatever it takes to make it look and behave
similar to the IE version.
This is a Web Application, not merely "brochure ware" for a website,
so there is stuff much more complicated than the frameset that has to
happen, so it was never going to work with every browser anyway.
Thanks for your help,
