frames content disappears

[Daniel]

I am editing a website that has two frames, one for the menu and one
for the content. Something strange happens when I edit the menu HTML
file. The menu disappears from the frame when I remove just one row
from the table containing the menu. How can this be, I am only
removing one menu item ?

The problem is on....let's see call on Mentok the Mind Tinker
(ooo-wee-ooo)...line 16 of you code.

Seriously, a URL please. Obviously, you are causing a syntax error in
your markup.

Two theories to this mystery:

1. There is only one row to the table and removing it removes the only
content there is.

2. Perhaps I better not... my leeway is nearly run out...

Ha, I was going to say that! See how you've corrupted me...


You've indicated previously you're around 60 so no surprise there.

I never indicated any such thing. How dare you! You are out by at least
an order of magnitude, young man.

A row or a data cell?
To drop the entire table row you must delete from <tr> to </tr>.

You're probably deleting more than you should so the entire menu
disappears because of syntax problems that can't be defined.
