Hi,,

does anyone know why the code below doesn't work at Firefox? I always got a
error "The requested URL could not be found. " - but with MS-IE8 and Opera 9
it works. If anyone likes to look - http://anika.khgagg.de.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Startseite</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<!-- This file must be named index.html and the other frame files linked to
it -->
<FRAMESET ROWS="90,*" noresize>
<FRAME NAME="kopf" SRC="Umwelt_page\Head.htm" frameborder=0 >
<FRAMESET COLS="120,*" noresize >
<FRAME NAME="menue" SRC="Umwelt_page\Buttonleiste.htm"
frameborder=0>
<FRAME NAME="weiss" SRC="Umwelt_page\Begruessungsseite.htm"
frameborder=0 >
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>

<NOFRAMES>
<!-- Text to display for frame-incapable browsers -->
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>


Thanks in advance

The DOCTYPE line is in the wrong place, but the site works for me.

The Doc Type belongs before the opening <HTML> tag.

HI,

I killed the thread because I found the mistake!

I used "\" in the path for documents and other. Only Opera and IE8 accepted
that - the other ones likes to have "/". I made a correction - now it's
runnig at all browsers.

Thanks to all !

Bye

What code doesn't work? I went to http://anika.khgagg.de with FF 3.5.5,
and there was no error message.

Of course the HTML is broken, and you should fix the errors.

..and should be a frameset one as well.

I'd recommend:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

The OP's posted code also has the slashes in the SRC URLs leaning the
wrong way. Should be /, not \ though in the rendered page, they show
correctly.

"\" is evil! It's Windows only. I believe the specs say that only "/" is acceptable. Opera and IE8 are wrong for accepting "\" where "/" is supposed be (and I would think that IE8 in standards compliance mode, would also barf on "\").

Here's a tip: Before complaining about HTML that doesn't work, run it through an validator. Fix the errors and if a problem still remains then bring up the question.
