Not sure what is going on

booner · Aug 9, 2005

I have the following:

<head>
<style>
#tablist{
padding: 3px 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-top: 0.1em;
font: bold 12px Verdana;
}

#tablist li{
list-style: none;
display: inline;
margin: 0;
}

#tablist li a{
padding: 3px 0.5em;
margin-left: 3px;
border: 1px solid #778;
border-bottom: none;
background: white;
text-decoration:none;
}

#tablist li a.current{
background: #F1C449;
color: white;
text-decoration:none;
}

#tabcontentcontainer{
width: 100%;
height: 95%;
padding: 3px;
border: 1px solid #778;
}
</style>
</head>
<html>
<ul id="tablist">
<li><a href="users.asp" class="current">Users</a></li>
<li><a href="projects.asp">Projects</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabcontentcontainer">
<frameset cols="30%,*"
framespacing="0">
<frame name="usersFrame"
src="editUsers.asp"
frameborder="0"
marginwidth="5"
marginheight="5"/>
<frame name="userFrame"
src="blank.html"
style="border-style:none"
frameborder="0"
marginwidth="5"
marginheight="5"/>
</frameset>
</div>
</html>

I see the tabs ... but I do not see the frameset. If I remove the tabs -
then I get the frameset. I'd like both

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

That's because the <ul> makes the browser infer <body>, and <frameset>
cannot occur inside <body> - the frameset DTD specifies that <frameset>
replaces body. A document with frames can only put other code within
the <noframes> element. You need to put your tabs inside another frame
(or better yet, use server-side includes so that you needn't use frames
at all).

You can't do it this way. Run it through validator.w3.org and it will tell
you that your code is just wrong.

What you are attempting (if you insist on frames - with the whole bunch of
problems they will cause) can only be done by splitting the window into
three frames, with an additional frame at the top holding your <ul> tabs.

Yes, that was a typo.

The user interface I was going for with the frames ... was a list of users
in a selection list (left frame). Then when a user is selected - put their
information in the right frame for updating.

In the selection list on the onchange event:

window.parent.frames["userFrame"].location = "editUser.asp?Id=" + id;
