All these problems that others are having resolving http://www.natural-innovations.com/as/osaxref.html caused me to pay a return visit to the page, and this time I took a look at the three parts separately: osaxhead.html osaxmain.html osaxfoot.html Doing so I discovered that the mailto in osaxfoot.html had not shown in the frame version, a problem that for NSN 3.0 Solaris 2.4 version could easily be resolved with a scrollbar. But the bigger problem may lie in how MS-Windows boxes resolve frames and tables. I have little experience with PCs beyond the occasional visit to a local computer store where I can rent an "average" dial-up Windows box for an hour to see how my pages work on PCs. Doing this, I have noticed that the Windows-PC does not do as good a job as NSN on the SPARC, and that it handles tables and frames somewhat differently. David Perrell may be onto something here, so, risking his demonstrated tendency towards uncalled-for sarcasm and flames (an example of which can be found at the top of this message), I would like to ask him to take a look at my frame page at: http://www.fepco.com/bf.frame.html and let me know how it works on his PC using both NSN 3.0 and MSIE 3. How about it, David? If it doesn't work on a Windows PC, this is something I need to know (it does work okay on Sun and Mac boxes). -fep -- fepotts@fepco.com http://www.fepco.com/
