    frames & N 4.7

    where I work they support Netscape 4.7, we use frames a lot, but
    framesets that look fine in IE look awful in N 4.7, can someone shed
    some light on what the deal is w/frames in N 4.7? in N 4.7 frames are
    different sizes from what they're supposed to be, etc.. thank you very
    much..

    Netscape 4 rounds frame dimensions to the nearest 1%. E.g. if the inner
    width of a browser window is (say) 600px, and you tell NN4 to make a frame
    20px wide (3.33% of the width), NN will make it 18px wide (3.00% of the
    width).

    You therefore have to design sites so that exact frame sizes are not
    critical.

      well ain't this grand..... framesets I'm talking about are complex
      framesets with lots of nested framesets etc... (if I could show you
      w/borders turned on you'd see what I mean.. I only have access to
      dvlpmt server here -- don't even have access to pers. ftp server where
      my own site is.. bummer.. & alas, don't have a comp at home...) ok,
      thank you very much.. Frances
