You'll find that very few people will attempt to help when you simply
post code. Create a page demonstrating what is happening, and upload it
so that people can see what you mean. I certainly won't bother copying
code form a Usenet post, and very few others will either.

Ok, I have upload the page:

www.lumierestudios.com/test/test.html

Check it with Firefox and with IE7.

Ok, now I can see what you mean. What are you trying to achieve though?
It might be that you're better off using another technique. As you're
using frames, it's more than likely that there is a better way

I can't use Frames, I know that Frames works, but I have other problems
with javascript and other things connected to the project (for example a
single DIV that surround all the frames)
I can use only the iFrames.

Exist a workaround for IE7?

Please, try the page with Firefox (work nice) and with Explorer 7 (bad)

But you are using frames in the example you posted... iframe *is* a frame.

The page has worse problems than that- in Opera it shows *nothing*. A
blank white page.

What a funny thread... worse than what? Is there some main
problem?

I don't have IE7 available, but I can guess what the problem is.

position: absolute;
top:0px; left:0px; right:0px; bottom:0px;

IE doesn't support this, at least not well. I suggest finding another
method of achieving your desired results if you want IE to render
comparably to other browsers.

BTW, using iframes like that is not a very good idea.

IE7 supports the above just fine. IE6 and lower won't do a thing with it
though.

It validates and I see a yellow column on the left and the rest of the
page is red. (Firefox 2.0)

Incorrect. IE6 doesn't support the use of top and bottom property
simultaneously, and it needs to be persuaded to get left and right to
work simultaneously, but it that is a far cry from "won't do a thing
with it".

1. Please I don't know what to do to solve this.

2. What you suggesta as an alternative to iframe?

Thanks

Perhaps I should have phrased it as I meant it? "IE6 and below won't do
what you expect it to do." Is that better? In reality you'll just end up
with the same content, but sized as if the "bottom" property wasn't
specified at all.

The code is ugly and perverse. Think of what you're really trying to
achieve here, then find a better way to do it. Gratuitous use of
absolute and hard-coded positioning is rarely indicative of a good
technical design.

<iframe> has limited uses, very few uses that would be appropriate when
XHTML is also appropriate, and it's certainly not a feature to be
recommended for purely presentation reasons.
