Hi Johnny, the fix is quite simple: Move the </frameset> tag to another place, namely to a place just before the closeing </body> tag. Then tidy works fine and produces the attached file. Why does this fix work? It is correct HTML and tidy can cope with correct HTML. When you pipe wrong HTML through tidy, tidy does not catch all possible HTML errors yet (though it tries). Simple rule for documents containing frames: After the closing </head> tag, the next tag is <frameset>. The corresponding closing </frameset> should be just before the closing </html> tag. Within the frameset you can have other <frameset>...</frameset> containers, <frame> tags and <noframes><body>...</body></noframes> containers. Most peole put the noframes part either at the very top or the very bottom of the outermost <frameset>. Another hint for your document: Within the noframes part, you can make the individual frames accessible to users whose browser does not support frames: Simply include <a hrefs> to each individual frame source. Why did tidy run into an infinite loop? There seems to be a bug in tidy. IMHO when tidy finds a <frame> tag outside a <frameset>, it should imply a missing <frameset>. Instead it seems it implys a missing <noframes>. Then again tidy checks the <noframes> part and knows (correctly) that a <frame> is not allowed inside a <noframes> container. -- Cheers alex Alexander Biron Pitcairn Island - country without email but with top level domain .pt http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,34321,00.html work: http://www.ifh.de/~biron/ private: Tel (+49)33762-77-233 Tel(+49)30-4948857 mailto:biron@ifh.de mailto:biron@frohnau-flamingos.de
