Disappearing frame

[Lorenzo Thurman]

I have tow frames generated using this code:
<frameset rows="75%,25%" frameborder="1" border="3" framespacing="0">
<frame src="topFrame.cfm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
name="topFrame.html" scrolling="auto" title="topFrame">
<frame src="bottomFrame.cfm" name="bottomframe" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" title="bottomframe">
</frameset>


When I view this in a browser, both frames show up initially, but when
the browser finishes rendering the pages, the bottom frame disappears.
The link in the browsers location field shows the URL for the top frame.

What do I need to do to get this to work? I remember doing frames some
time ago, but don't remember having to do anything special. Can someone
help me out?

TIA

Oh dear. Frames are very rarely a good idea.

You have failed to provide a URI to display the problem. My guess is that
the author of the document you load in the top frame didn't want it to be
framed and took steps (with JavaScript) to prevent it being so.
