Iframe screwing up entire page only in Internet Explorer!

Site: www.alicac.org

I have tried in Firefox and Opera and the site shows perfectly fine, but once I browse it with the crappy but popular Internet Explorer everything goes wrong...

Take a look:

Opera:


IE 7:


I have detected where the problem starts, right inside the following framed page, which acts as the upper blue submenu, this is the address:
http://alicac.org/menu.html

But, I haven't found why, or how this happens, but it does.

I know there are many experts around here, please give me some light!

 

i would recmmend yo stay away from Iframes

 

That's not an option, I won't go away from iframes.
Any other suggestion? Please check the code!

 

Interested in hearing why not using iframes isn't a option. There are alturnives that are easier, cleaner if not all around better.

 

Really? Well, my site is already functional and I don't want to do everything again by a simple error.
If you guys don't know how to use iframes please don't misslead the topic, I need help to fix this problem, not to change my mind...

 

maybe you could share those?

 

He's not interested, if you want to know pm me.
Recommendations for your site, it seems your css style sheets aren't correct the big thing i see is the background image comand you used doesn't work with ie.
If your using div's would be much easier to edit.
Your background image isn't working it seems, try

background: url(/images/blank.gif);

 

Good one. Tell me of a clean alternative which won't require the whole site to be remade from scratch.

 

It only removes the blue from both frames but it keeps deforming the site.

 

It's better to recode something, and do it right. Than use something that isn't correct.

In my opinion It is impossible to make a web site that will look great in all browsers

 

If you browse this web site with Opera and IE it will look great. But if you browse this web site with Firefox it doesn't look so well. Look here http://stommepoes.nl/badwebsite.gif

 

of course, you can make a simple web site without frames, I am not still sure that it will look great in all browsers even without frames.

 

Goodguy you'd be wrong how do you explain this site.
Looks same in all browsers.
It is very possable.
There are of course limits to what we can do with websites due to IE 6 still being so widely used and not supportting png transparence.

What site are you talking about?, I didn't understand you.

 

You said "how do you explain this site.", What site are yout talking about?

 

Tip don't multi post you'll get banned.
As well look at DP.

I'm just guessing here, I've not tested this but to fix the problems with the spaces in the table I think you should set a fixed width in the main table. Right now it's set to 100%.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%"><tr><td align="center" valign="middle">

The problem with the iframe seems to be a problem with transparency. Are you sure ie accepts transparency on iframes?

 

Indeed. Perhaps more importantly, attempting to continue using a tool or method that isn't appropriate only tends to make problems worse as time goes on. From what I can see it's not as though we're talking about a 1000 page website, a rebuild wouldn't take long and you'd have a better foundation.

goodguy75, it's a nonsense to suggest it's impossible to build sites that work in all browsers. All it takes is planning and forethought. The fact that so many sites don't function/display correctly in all is merely a reflection of the planning/build process.

Here's a short update guys,

1) I've fixed the table with/height to the correct parameters.
2) I've removed background images from main html (where the iframes fit)
3) I have set google address for both iframes to see if the problem was caused by the loaded content inside the frames.

Guess what? Internet Explorer 7 is still doing the same!!

Please, see the following images, and check the code...
