I would like to know any other alternative to iframe,
as i have problem in getting my menu dispalyed over
iFrame area.

I mean displaying menutitems over iframe area is ok, but
selecting the menuitems is a big issue.
 
I understand about your menu problem, but we couldn't possibly recommend an IFRAME alternative without knowing more details.

For example, if you're using the IFRAME to display a web page over which you have no control, then you're probably stuck.

If, on the other hand, you're displaying HTML you wrote, then there is probably a work-around that will let you populate a DIV on the parent page with the information you want.

Or...

So, what are you using the IFRAME for?

Thanks for your comments.I know that fuctionality and
usage of iframe very well.

But I am having very good control of my menus over all the
areas except over an iFrame area of the html page.
 
Hi you are correct. My Menu is getting working
over iFrame in IE but not in Netscape...

What is the solution.

So instead of saying how well you know iframes and what they do, why not answer the question that would help us answer your original query: what are you using the iframe for?

My scenario of usage of IFrame is to redirect html pages
dispalyed within the tempalte that I have designed for my web site.

It is working fine in IE.But not active in Netscape.

So can you suggest an alternative of IFrame,sothat I can get my things working on both browsers.

One of my altrenative is frameset but I need t redesign
my whole template.
 
If you're just using iframes to display the content of your page around the template then use server side includes instead. 100% cross browser compatible as long as your server supports them (and a whole hell of a lot less messy than frames)

I apprecitate your comments. I am using Netscape version 8.0. But IFrame not getting worked properly.
 
To Include Server Side things we get our web site hosted
by other ISP. We doesn't have dedicated server for the time
being.

So our application is fully oriented with Client Side
technologies.
 
Sorry I apologize. I am new to this forum manners and if
I used any name kindly forgive.

I work for an organization and moreover it is a voluntary work.I am gaining all sort of experiences from this
development process.

Even the link citywastepaper.com is a new experience.

How can I sent my application to you. Their is no
error in it as it is getting displayed on IE properly.
 
Ok. I will solve my problem myself. It may take some
time.Keep going.
 
FYI, Clive. The site has [red][ignore][ignore][/ignore][/red] tags. Put an open and a close around other tags if you want to show them off:

[red][ignore][ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][/ignore][/red], for exaample, returns [red][ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][/red].

IFrame appears well. To make you understandive,
I can tell you that the My template is designed
in such a way that
1)We have a static upper portion which holds main menu items.
2)We have a right frame which diaplays the menu items
links or simply I can say target of menu items.

The problem is that the menu items and the whole working
tecnology works well in IE.

But when testing in Netscape 8.0 the Drop Down Menu Items
are not getting displayed properly sohat we can't even
select a sub item.

sub menu items displayed over IFrame area.

But when testing in Netscape 8.0 the Drop Down Menu Items
are not getting displayed properly over the IFRame area sohat I can't even select a sub menu item.

Is IFrame compatible with Netscape browser??

lovelyjob,

We really do want to help you.

The fastest way to do that would be for you to post a link to the page you're working on (so we can navigate there using Netscape and see the problem first-hand) ...

OR

...for you to post the HTML for the same page, so we can re-create the problem for ourselves.

That will let us see what exactly is the matter and then work toward a solution.

Dave
