Weird problem with IE5.0

safra · Jun 14, 2001

Hi,

I'm not sure this is the right spot to ask the following.

I have web site that uses frames. In order to get straight to a page within the frameset I use a link like this:

http://www.domain.com/?&cars/index

The main page will recognise that it should open cars/index.htm within the frame set.

The problem I have with IE5.0 is that it will open the page without scrollbars!

Any ideas what causing this and how to avoid it?

regards,

Ron

Try this:
<a href="

http://www.domain.com/?&cars/index"

target="home">Cars</a>

The target tag should solve the problem.

In your frame set "this is a 3 frame set" take notice of name=home:
<frameset rows="100,*" border=0>
<frame src="window2.html" noresize scrolling=no marginwidth=120 border=0>
<frameset cols="110,*" border=0>
<frame src="window1.html" noresize scrolling=no FRAMEBORDER=0>
<frame src="home.html" name=home>
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

Hope this helps,
Bob
