How do you fix this? I've run Windows Update, nothing there.

Use default security settings?

Post a sample URL if you need more help.

I applied default level, but it didn't change anything. Here is the link:

www.ezkeyllc.com


That site is trying to create a page from a set of pages rendered as frames
but has a coding error in its frameset page which prevents it from being shown
as a set of frames.

It is a common error which has been exposed by IE7 tightening up
the rendering it will do according to standards:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#h-16.2

<quote>
A frameset document has a HEAD, and a FRAMESET in place of the BODY.
</quote>

View source of the site you are giving as an example
shows that it has a <body> contained in the <noframes> element
of the <frameset>.

The HTML validator (e.g. via IE Developer Toolbar) didn't like it either. ; )


FYI

Hi Robert:

Sorry for such long reponse times. The information is helpful, but I will
be quite honest, it is foreign language to me. I created a couple of sites
for people and they all have the same problem.

I don't mean to be difficult, but there is a lot of explanation of why
something isn't working, but I don't see how to fix it. Here is the code
below:

html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Namo WebEditor">
<title>To view this page correctly, you need a Web browser that supports
frames.</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="200, 80%" cols="1*" border="0">
<frame name="top" scrolling="no" marginwidth="10" marginheight="14"
src="titletop.htm" namo_target_frame="bottom" noresize>
<frame name="bottom" scrolling="auto" marginwidth="10" marginheight="5"
src="EZKEY.htm" namo_target_frame="_blank">
<noframes>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#800080"
alink="#FF0000">

<p>To view this page correctly, you need a Web browser that supports
frames.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</htm


Thanks Robert!

FWIW the implication to me of the portion of the HTML spec that I quoted
would be that you should delete the <body> tags and just leave the body
text as the part to be rendered as the <noframes> element. AFAICS you have
the <noframes> element positioned correctly in the rest of the frameset.
However, the syntax specification indicates that the noframes element
is optional [1] so then another approach to avoiding the symptom
would be to delete that element entirely.

[1] Specifically I think that the question mark indicates that the noframes element is optional:
<quote>
<!ELEMENT FRAMESET - - ((FRAMESET|FRAME)+ & NOFRAMES?) -- window subdivision-->
</quote>


BTW this is not the best forum for diagnosing coding problems.
