FRAME DISAPPEARS WHEN IE SIDE BAR ON ??

[Racket]

Built a page with left and top frame for nav bar etc. When viewed in IE6, if
the left bar ( favorites or hisory etc) is open, only the left frame( nav
bar) shows up! Move the side bar to the left or remove it and the body
page returns.
Anyone know how to fix this.
Done lots of frames (hate 'em but client requirement) and have never seen
this before.
Thaks all

Upgrade your clients.

Seriously though, have you explained to them all the problems that
frames cause, and that to do them properly would take you 3 times as
long as a non-frames site? Are they paying you by the hour? I hope so
for your sake... :-D

I don't know about that... there are times when frames can be useful and the
right solution for a website (I have a couple of sites that use frames in
places... not on the whole site for navigation, but other parts of the site)

Gee thanks Mark.

You're welcome.

I gave you plenty of material to take back to your clients to help you
convince them that frames are not the way to go. That's the best help
anyone could give you.

BTW: Please don't post upside-down.

If you want anyone to help you other than pointing out
what's wrong with frames, I suggest mentioning a url to the
page that displays your problem.
