My site uses iFrames, which only works in IE and not in NS (older versions), and I can't use iLayer's because in iLayers you cannot define the width and height, like you can in iFrames...how can I get around it?? Alot of ppl. who use NS have emailed me saying that they cannot view my site...I even tried to re-design my site and that's alot of work, plus I love the way my site looks like now...
Is it possiable for me to use Frames?? How can I set that up?? I'm also using image-maps to link...
Take a look here, just in case I made a mistake explaining: Any help is much appreciated... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
 
You can only do something like that with IFRAME, but as you said it doesn't work in Netscape. There are Java solutions to that (like Coldfusion's CFGRID), though they aren't as easy to work with as IFRAME. If you use frames you'll have to be able to divide the page up, like a table.

You could do one big frame at the top, cutting just above your scrollbar, then one big frame at the bottom just below the scrollbar, then three frames in the middle. It'll be fun lining everything up (NOT) and frames aren't 100% supported on everything either (though more so than IFRAME). If your site isn't too big you might want to design two sites, one for IE (using IFRAME) and one for everyone else (with some other modified design).
