Wellll.... I too can't see all the frames on the your page with my 4.7 but can with my IE. Is it a limitaion with NS 4.7? No, not necessarily so. There are lots of coding that NS can see that IE can't. It is always a good practice to have both browsers on-board if one is creating webpages so ones work can be checked with both browsers. Coding for adding music, and other bells and whistles can be quite different with between the browsers. I took a quick look at the coding on the frame page of http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaschsm/main.html and spotted one error. You have "<body ..........> and <body> near the top with only one </body> at the bottom. The second "body" may be the problem for when I copied the code into a webpage in FP it automatically deleted that second <body> and allowed the frame to be viewed in NS. Here is some of the coding I'm talking about: ------------------------------------ <BODY BACKGROUND=images/tan.gif> <BODY> <a name="top"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="4" CELLPADDING="4" WIDTH="100%"> <tr><td> </BODY> </HTML> ------------------------------------ All you need is the body in the background statement: <BODY BACKGROUND=images/tan.gif> Try deleting <BODY> and see if this doesn't help. Always remember HTML coding is like signs in higher math a positive needs a negative. <BODY> is a positive and </BODY> is a negative. Every positive < > needs a negative </ >. More positives < > then negatives </ > almost always causes problems in HTML coding. --- Susan SGTAYLOR1@att.net My Genealogy Website - sgt http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/ ----------------------------------------------- USGW Mansfield, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/mansfield.html USGW New London, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/newlondon.html USGW Norwich, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/norwich.html USGW Windham, CT - http://home.att.net/~SGTAYLOR1/windham.html USGW Coordinator Plymouth Co., MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~maplymou/ USGW Plymouth, MA - http://www.rootsweb.com/~macplymo/ *********************************************************
