frames

[dthatsme]

I work for newspaper and we are using frames for our Classifieds page. Yes, I know frames suck. I didn't design it and am looking to change it so any ideas would be helpful.

On to the problem - some of our customers are unable to view the contents of our classifieds. They are getting a blank page where the ads should be listed in the main body frame.

I have included images as examples.

The way it should look:

The missing ads:

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Use divs with a set width and height and use overflow:scroll; that will give the appearance of a frame or iframe, but everything will be in one page.

Listen Im old school and am not a fan of CSS. Now before everyone starts hating me for saying that, let me finish. If there is one thing I am less of a fan of its frames. CSS is perfect for laying out your page without the use of table and frames, I just never bothered to learn it and none of my clients seem to mind that.

If you want, post your source or offer a link and we can take a look and see what the problem is as far as things not showing up correctly.

Here's a page with a lot of tutorials on it. When the page loads, use [ctrl] + F (or command + F) and search for text overflow.

I never thought of using CSS. I'll have to check into that! Thanks.

Here's a link to one of our classified pages- http://www.butlereagle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=Classifieds01

Okay, I've been researching using CSS instead of frames I'm not sure I understand how I can use them to have another page open up, just like a frame would work. Can someone give me an example or explain how that would work? Thanks!
