I designed my index page to contain frames(which all work when previewing in a local browser).[nbsp][nbsp]However after uploading, only the top and bottom frames show, and right on top of each other, not leaving room for the middle frame.[nbsp][nbsp]I don't know weather it's some problem of my editor(dreamweaver) in writting code, or weather the problem exists on the transfer/server side of things.

I would really appreciate any help

Oh, by the way, I guess i should introduce my self, as this is my first posting.[nbsp][nbsp]My name is cina, I'm at glasstooth.com and I am somewhat new to this so, if you would be so kind, please bear with me.

Thank you,
cina

i'm not sure but, in the source of the index, it might matter if it was

rows="172,327*"

or

rows="172,327,*"

try putting a comma before the asterisk

so if i'm not mistaken, there should be 3 sections, a frame on the top, one on the bottom, and one in the middle which is composed of two more frames

Keiichi, thanks very much for the suggestion, I'm modifying the source right now.[nbsp][nbsp]I've got my fingers crossed.[nbsp][nbsp]And, yes you'r right about the frame layout.

Keiichi, It actually worked, thank you very much, seriously.[nbsp][nbsp]I added the commas and it seemed to add some empty frames to define spaces, i guess, I'm still trying to figure exactly what's going on there.[nbsp][nbsp]But that's what sunday is for, huh.[nbsp][nbsp]

So thanks again, I definatly couldn't have done it on my own.

no problem

the commas are used to separate the frame width amount.
the asterist just tells the browser to fill up whatever space the screen did not fill up yet.

I checked out the site (i thought it was a dentist's site at first :þ)
anyway, on your first page, there's this weird floating link on the left, you might want to fix that (unless it belongs there).

yea i know, there's a lot of things i need to finish...a couple links, some graphics stuff and adding sophisticated rollovers, nothing difficult just slightly time consuming.[nbsp][nbsp]I'm probably going to pull it until it's finished.[nbsp][nbsp]Avoid a little embaresment.[nbsp][nbsp]

Yea, I've heard the dentist thing more than a couple of times.

thanks again,
cina
