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.

Hugh

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 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

It was supposed to be creamy butter and green fields, such as we have
down here!

Will do.

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
