I'm having a certain issue with frames. When I create a page with, say, three rows, if any of those three rows contain a column that is 100% in size, that is the ONLY column/row that shows up. The other rows with columns are just not there.

Can anyone help me out with that?

Just for specifics in quick-write:

Frame ROWS 10%, 80%, 10%

COLS 100%
SRC whatever.html

COLS 15%, 70%, 15%
SRC whatever1.html
SRC whatever2.html
SRC whatever3.html

COLS 50%, 50%
SRC whatever4.html

When I type this situation out, only the first row that has the 100% column will show up. If I just add another column to it, to make it say 50%,50%, they all show up on the page perfectly.

Thank you for your help!

My pleasure, hopefully you can help me with this information:

<FRAMESET ROWS="10%,80%,10%">

<FRAMESET COLS="100%">
<FRAME SRC="page1.html">
</FRAMESET>

<FRAMESET COLS="10%,80%,10%">
<FRAME SRC="anotherpage.html">
<FRAME SRC="whatever.html">
<FRAME SRC="page5.html">
</FRAMESET>

<FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%">
<FRAME SRC="anotherone.html">
<FRAME SRC="misc.html">
</FRAMESET>

</FRAMESET>

What will happen is, the first COLS section,

<FRAMESET COLS="100%">
<FRAME SRC="page1.html">
</FRAMESET>

Is what will show up, the rest of the page will be blank.

How does that sound?

So, you want a frameset with 7 different sources, right?

7 different sources including the main page itself, yes. A page with three rows, the first row having only one column that stretches the entire row, a second row with three columns, and a third row with two evenly sized columns.

And as simple as that, problem solved! Thanks everyone, and thanks Dave. Saved my sanity.

I would like to add that if you are using 7 different webpages to add together you webpage you are very likely overdoing it.

CSS positioning & iframes are techiques that would most likely bring down the complexity of your page tremendously.
