This is driving me nuts, It's coded using exact syntax I verified on the netscape site as being correct, it works in ALL browsers I've tried including NN6.

code:

<html>

<head>

	<title>Put title here</title>

</head>

<frameset framespacing="0" border="false" frameborder="0" rows="59,360,*">

	<frame name="pagetitle" src="slidetitle.htm" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" border="0">

	<frameset framespacing="0" border="false" frameborder="0" rows="360" cols="100,640,*">

		<frame name="nav" scrolling="no" src="nav.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

		<frame name="main" scrolling="auto" noresize src="home.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" border="0">

		<frame scrolling="no" noresize src="frmright.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" border="0">

	</frameset>

	<frame src="frmbottom.htm" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" border="0">

<noframes>

<a href="http://www.downloads.com/">I think you need a new browser, don't you ?</a>

</noframes>

</frameset>

</html>

The rows in the outer frameset arn't displaying with a 360 pixel height and I can't figure out what's making the left frame in the nested frameset on row 2 miss 10 pixels off the right, the middle frame is supposed to be 640 pixels and it's less. It's a total mess, I was all set to make my site with iFrames but then I remembered NN4 can't use them so I thought I'd use frames, Netscape claim to have invented them on Netscape page about the beta of version 4, surely NN4.08 is to blame and not me.

Has anyone had experience of this problem and fixed it ?

Netscape doesn't fit your frames to the exact height and width you specify. There is no workaround that I'm aware of. I've heard explanations, such as that it always rounds off to an integer percentage value, and I'm not really sure if they're right or not. All I know is that it messes up. It seems to be around 0-10 pixels off, varying depending on the window size.

You have two options:

1. make the frames with important content at their edges a little bigger than necessary. This will make them the incorrect size in *every* browser, but at least in NN important parts won't get cut off.

2. Keep important content away from the very edge of the frames, and try not to care too much about the way it looks bad in NN.
