Hi all.
I am just getting into html. I wish to make a web page with three frames so I sourced some simple code. The frames display fine in Explorer, but only show a blank page in Safari. Does Safari need extra code to display frames? I'm using Safari for Mac Osx 10.4 Explorer is using Os9. Here is the code.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Frames Test </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET Rows = "30%,70%">
<FRAME SRC="1.HTM" NAME="UPPER">
<FRAMESET Cols = "10%,90%">
<FRAME SRC="2.HTM" NAME="LOWER">
<FRAME SRC="3.HTM" NAME="RIGHT">
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
Thanks,
comicartist
Full Version: Safari won't display frames
Can you provide the URL (address) of a document that demonstrates the problem?
The only thing obviously wrong with the example you posted is the lack of NOFRAMES content. See NOFRAMES - Frames Alternate Content in our HTML reference.
But see also the FAQ entry Are there any problems with using frames?

Hi Darin,
Sorry, I am working off line so have no URL. I understand the noframes tag but am really surprised I would need it on Apple's prefered browser. I can't believe Safari is too pathetic to display frames.
Thanks for your advice.

One more guess is that the files are named 1.htm , 2.htm , and 3.htm on the Mac filesystem, but you're referring to 1.HTM , 2.HTM , and 3.HTM in your frameset document. URLs are case-sensitive, and some filesystems are case-sensitive too.
The code you supplied displays fine in both Safari 2 and Safari 3 on both G5 and Intel platforms.
The only difference between 2 and 3 is that v3 will display the frame borders even if there is no content, whereas v2 will only display borders if there is valid content. So with v2 if you have as Darin suggested not listed the sources correctly you will get a blank page.
Here is what v2 (Intel) displays.

Darin and Jimlongo,
Thanks heaps. I knew you could do it. Soooo much appreciated. I was beginning to think Mac users would be excluded from my eventual site. Ye Ha!
