Damn frames pages...question.

The following code does not work in Internet Explorer. The page is blank and the source shows the the frames code as below. Netscape 4.x displays the NO FRAMES portion of the page. The page displays fine in Netscape 7.x and Mozilla though.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<frameset columns="780,1">
<noframes>
This is a framed page. Your browser needs to be upgraded to view this properly.
</noframes>
<frame src="test.html">
<frame src="blank.html">
</frameset>
</body>
</html>

When I used this code below, IE displays it fine, but Netscape 4.x pulls up a blank page and the source shows the frames code. Netscape 7.x and Mozilla show it just fine though. The only difference between the two chunks of code is that I removed <BODY> tags. What the hell is going on with this stuff?

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<frameset columns="780,1">
<frame src="test.html">
<frame src="blank.html">
<noframes>

</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

If anyone can help me out with this, that'd be great. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
 
A few things:
Use a proper HTML declaration

In your frameset it should be cols, not columns... that may be the problem.

You're correct to not use a body, and keeping the noframes below all your frames (but before the frameset closing tag) is probably best.

Here is a good reference page (what I just looked at to post this commentary):

In addition, I also imagine some browsers may not like a 1 pixel column (I don't see the point, either)

Well, I'm trying to hide a script page file name from people in the URL. I couldn't think of another way to do it besides using a frames page to hold the script and have another blank page.
