Viewing frames in Windows VISTA (yuck!) Options

[BMann]

Hi all ...

I am building a site , and I am using the ... TARGET=body ... line to make my links show up in frame 2 - I have other sites that I have used this command on with no problems, however this site will use that command , in Windows 98 its ok , and XP its ok...but when I view the site on my VISTA machine , it opens a new window for each link :-((

funny because another site I have uses the same frames layout, and it views fine in VISTA - which is making me absolutely CRAZY ! and lets me know its not a computer / VISTA setting.

any help would be appreciated,the site menu with the ... TARGET=body ... links is here

It could be a security thing. In IE6 on XP I'm asked if I want to "allow sub-frames to navigate across different domains". I don't see why that prompt is triggered though since everything seems to be on the same domain. Hmmm...

This is a longshot and I don't really think this is the problem, but check if IE maybe chokes on the lack of a space between the href value and the target.

CODE

<a Href="http://www.royaldance.ca/info.html"TARGET="body"

already tried that unfortunately ... it shows in the html view if you look at the link for
http://www.royaldance.ca/gcs.html it shows it with a space between the href and TARGET

as opposed to the link for:
http://www.royaldance.ca/contact.html which has no space, and they both are acting the same way

this is very wierd , because i have other sites that operate the same way , and it is working fine even in VISTA !

thats what REALLY freaks me out...it has to be somthing really obvious like what you had mentioned PANDY - I appreciate ya'll lookin at it tho :-)

anyone else have a idea?

I get new windows with all my browsers. When I tested it offline, it worked with a relative URL in the frameset:

CODE

<FRAME SRC="menu.html"

--even though "menu.html" still uses absolute URLs.

Unlike the menu, there's no www-prefix here:

CODE

<FRAME SRC="http://royaldance.ca/menu.html" scrolling="NO"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" NORESIZE
NAME="logo">

which probably causes browsers to think it's another domain.

YOU are absolutely RIGHT ! ...I knew it was something really stupidly obvious !...just couldnt find it - THANKS Christian ! ...I and my client REALLY appreciate that !

Imagine I looked for that but didn't see it. I'm getting to old and tired for this.

I didn't see it either until I began deleting content and this was all that remained.
