Page not showing correctly in Safari (Mac)

[StrangerInBeijing]

Hi,

I don't have that much web dev experience, and took over a website from someone else.

On one page, the code dynamically loads another page on the page using javascript in a frame. (Not sure how to word this, but please rather ask than ignoring me here)

This page displays fine in IE, but on a user's Mac machine, on which she uses Safari to look at this page, this page is not displayed at all, and the area on the "main" page where this page should show is just blank.

Any ideas, or more information i should give here to allow someone to help me out?

alreeet Stranger!!!!

It is because the Mac ( or safari to be precise does not suport InLine Frames, or Frames full stop... (until IE7.0 I believe , bu it is easeir to wait for you own face to appear onn the one dollar bill!!!!)

use the <noframe>

tags to specify the information you want to display in the frame. This will tell the browser, that if the page does not suport frames, to display the follwing information, if it supports frames, then go ahead and parse the frama and ignore here.
</NoFrame>

Hope this helps

It is a very poor browser that does not support frames, and Safari is a very good browser.

My advice: Test your page in Firefox instead of IE. If it is standards-compliant, it should work in both Fx and Safari. Working in IE, on the other hand, doesn't guarantee working in any other browser.

I can't offer much help with the problem itself, unless you can post a bit of the JS code?

Hi,

sorry. Dont get me wrong, I agree that safari is a good broswer, but I was being specific to this installation, and notthe browser itself, sorry for being misunderstood, was not clear.

Penagates rigt, it could be that either some DOM dlls ahve been corrupt or not supported in this version, or it could be that youare acessing the dom incorrectly.

Post the JS and well peruse over this one if youre stillhaving problems.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the help.
As I can't make that much sense of the current code, my asp ain't that great, and I'm scared of breaking stuff as the guy that developed this site left the company, I will rather leave it as it is for now.

What I am doing is re-creating the database, then create a new professional looking site in asp.net, as clients will subscribe and pay for articles they get from our site. (If anyone want to critisize on me going from asp to asp.net, please feel free to do so!)

What I will do is installing different OS's on seperate removeable drives, and the most used browsers on each, and do proper testing in the future. I guess that is the best way to make sure everything works fine on all systems?

Thanks again!
