    Default Impossible to preview frames in browsers

    Hi,

    I have built a few frames and non frames sites and have never had problems
    previewing as I go.

    However i just started building my own site (aren't they the ones that give
    you the trouble?) and after resaving the frames / frameset filenames to more
    appropriate filenames they were impossible to preview.

    I have deleted several times from the HD and deleted from <Define Sites>
    panel> also and rebuilt from the ground up and it doesn't make a scap of
    difference except that I get the frames displaying (top / left / main) withj
    error messages in them in IE6.

    I get absolutely nothing in NS7 or Firefox.

    I CAN preview nonframes pages defined in the same site, and I can preview all
    my previously designed fames sites.

    Can anybody help?

    Also, regardless of whether the top of my pages / mastheads are tables, cells
    or frames, I can't get them to align to the extreme left like some pages I have
    seen, but they sit 10 0 15 pixels out.

    How do you correct this?

    Regards,

    Peter

    Please show me the code on your frameset page.

    Also, when you preview this page, what happens?

    Link to an external stylesheet (using DW's CSS editor), or embed a
    stylesheet in your code (between <head> and </head>) with the following
    style in it (embedded shown for cut-n-paste convenience) (assuming you want
    zero margins) -

    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    body { margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0;
    padding:0; }
    -->
    </style>
    (when the value is zero, units are not required)

    you could also try

    body { margin: 0 0 0 0; padding:0; }

    or

    body { margin: 0; padding:0; }

    as a shorthand method.

    This will take care of the margins in IE4+ and NN6. To take care of NN4x,
    you will need to use MODIFY | Page Properties... and set the two right hand
    margin fields (marginwidth and marginheight) to 0 (only in DMX and below).

    Since you are still using inline margin specs in the body tag, this method
    won't validate (and is not easy to do in DMX2004). To get completely valid
    code that works for all
    browsers in any version of DW, change your stylesheet as shown below -

    body {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0 -10px 0 -10px;
    /*/*/margin: 0 0 0 0; /* */
    }
    (this is called a CSS "hack" - the bottom line is not read by NN4x)
