and tell me why this is looking fine on Explorer but coming up as a blank screen in Navigator...even though when you "view source"...all the elements are there??
It's kinda making me nuts!!
Thanks in advance!

Netscape is very picky about table, td and tr tags being opened and closed in the proper order.

I didn't see a problem in the frameset page, but in your top frame I noticed that you were missing a </TR>, and there are two </table> tags and only one <table> tag. I think there are some <td> tags outside of the table and a stray </DIV>.

I didn't check the other two frames, but this might solve the problem. If not, we'll look into it further. Smiling

Thanks John for your help...unfortunately I'm still having problems. I did try to fix some of the table probs you noticed. That was very helpful. The thing is...each of the 3 individual frames
(http://members.aol.com/baltbufsol/logo.html......
http://members.aol.com/baltbufsol/navigation.html....and
http://members.aol.com/baltbufsol/home.html)

all show up if you call them up individually on the Netscape browser. It is only when you call up the ....index.html page which is the frameset...that I get a blank screen. I'm still baffled. Hate to trouble you again...but I would greatly appreciate some help.
Thanks so much...

I had this kind of problem before. You really have to be careful about your table tags and frameset tags in netscape - it can be really picky!

I hope they all helped you and you get it working!

I think you need to add another closing frameset tag. There are two opening frameset tags and only one closing tag.

To JP...John...Woody...and Brooke....
Thank you all VERY MUCH!
Your keen eyes did indeed solve my problem.
I needed another </frameset> tag.
Geez...it would be great if there was some kind of uniformity between these 2 browsers.
What a headache this must be for all of you.
Constantly having to test on both...tweaking all the time.
But I gotta tell you...I have found a place that I know I can get help with my coding problems...so expect to hear from me again. And again a big THANKS!
You guys really saved me!!
Regards

There it is! I overlooked it before, but Woody caught it. Smiling

Put in another </FRAMESET> tag and Netcape should show everything. Smiling
