I have a 3 frame frameset.
Top bar, left side nav and main page.
Top bar is a .htm displays ok
main page is a .htm displays ok
nav bar is a perl generated menu, Firefox reports file not found.
Put link into address bar - finds the file ok.
Works fine in IE5 and IE6.
Replaced link to perl script with a link to another .htm - file not found.
Page validates ok.
Code:
Error 404: /\\[URL unfurl="true"]www.xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxx.cgi[/URL] is not found at this location

Back to [URL unfurl="true"]www.xxxxxxxxx.co.uk[/URL] homepage

Document: 	/\\[URL unfurl="true"]www.xxxxxxx\xxxxxxx.cgi[/URL]
Is it Firefox, ist it me or is it a Friday thing?

Thanks for the reply.
This site is having a full revamp in a couple of weeks but at the moment it is a Firefox free zone.
Here's the code - I have been chopping lumps off it but I think the valid bits are still here.
I was having such a good day before this came up.
I have some other issues with Firefox but let's not complicate the matter.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">[/URL]
<html>

<frameset rows="183,*" border="0">
  <frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize target="main" src="heading">
  <frameset cols="197,*">
    <frame name="contents" src="\prodfind\audio2.cgi?call=contents" scrolling="no">
    <frame name="main" src="front" scrolling="auto" target="_self">
  </frameset>
  <noframes>
  </noframes>
</frameset>

</html>

Thank you - Thank you - Thank you.
I was starting to lose the will to live but I have been saved. Can only offer you a star I'm afraid.
I guess that IE is a lot more forgiving than Firefox.

I have a javascript dropdown menu which works properly in IE but not in Firefox, should I start a new thread or go and drink some beer?

Yes, you can say that way too. In facts, Microsoft just ignores the standards.

That would belong to forum216 ( JavaScript ).

My first thought is that the author does not referenced the objects with full path, just ignored the [tt]document[/tt] object ( for example images[1].src instead of document.images[1].src ). As I saw, this goes to be a new habit of Explorer-only developers.

For a diagnose we need to see the script or at least the error message.

Feherke.
