I have a friend who has created his own blog web site.

On my Firefox (v2.00.16) the "frames" overlap and blank-out portions
of other panels.

"Friend" claims no problems reported by anyone else.  (He says.)

"Friend" is a retired non-technical executive of Intel (facility
maintenance :-)

Any idea what he did wrong, so I can tell him politely?  (He's a bit
of a hot-head, "I didn't do anything wrong", type... a lot like all
the leftist weenies lurking here :-)

Firefox v2.00.16 is the latest non v3, which I understand has
problems.

Politely, you could mention that frames have some disadvantages.

1 - They can be hard to navigate
2 - Their scroll bars can hog precious real estate
3 - They can be hard to get indexed in search engines
4 - Once indexed, can appear independently without benefit of their
surrounding and supporting frames
5 - Better to embed content using fixed positioning and the use of
OBJECT elements. (per W3C)

Most likely, your friend has set the noresize in the frame tag to
zero.  (Or has set the border width in the border tag to zero).
Either way, visitors won't be able to resize the frames - which (sight
unseen - no pun intended) would seem like reasonable solutions to the
problem.

Also, in Explorer 5, if you set the border width to less than 5, the
border disappears and visitors won't be able re-size them (regardless
of the noresize attribute).  Not sure if that is the same for Firefox,
as I don't use it that much.  It is not a problem in IE-6.

You could also introduce your friend to CSS?  Obviously, with fixed-
position layouts.

1. no DOCTYPE (not good)
2. it doesn't use frames (which is good)
3. it was designed in Frontpage (not good)
4. far too many font styles and sizes (not good)
5. some HTML is IE specific
6. IE and other web browsers show some text areas differently as  the
HTML is badly formed and they will each make different assumptions
(which is what you are seeing). This is normal. It's not correct but
it's normal.

It doesn't look right on Safari either,  Frames are out of place.

At first I said. "How can this guy be a friend of be JT?".
Example headline:
"Conservatives are lower life forms"

...then I saw "Donkeys and elephants draw flies"
so apparently he gives it to both sides equally.  8-)

I'll say it again:
The FIRST step to making pages render properly in ALL browsers
is to make sure the HTML is W3C-compliant.
