go to URL not working in FireFox

[chris_wireplay]

Hi All :-)

I have a big problem with a frameset site I am building where the standard MM
DW8 go to URL behaviour will not work in FireFox!

It works fine in IE. The simple test I have put up is 3 frames, click the link
'one' in the 1st frame and in IE it targets frame 2 and 3 with new pages. Try
it in FF and NOTHING!

Test URL is here...

[url]http://www.lennon-planning.co.uk/frameset.html[/url]

Anyone got a clue why such a basic thing is failing?

thanks.

Chris.

Sorry for asking, but why are you using frames?

Why not? :-)

There is nothing wrong with using frames as long as they are used correctly.

There is a big split amongst developers as to whether or not to use frames and
its been going on for nearly 8 years now!

I personally use them where its appropriate, and for this project it is.

Problem solved now anyway, good old DW didnt put frames names in, only IDS!

Cheers.

Oh, there's plenty wrong with using them. The reason for using or not using
frames should be based on a) your site's needs, and b) your willingness to
accept the potential problems that frames can create for you as developer
and maintainer of the site and for your visitors as casual users of the
site.

I am down on frames because I believe that they create many more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b) that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.

As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -
