When resizeing a weblogic developed page with a sitescape frame you loose all of
its content.  Sitescape support says it is a browser issue.  It works in IE.  It
is also a problem is Mozilla 1.7 and Netscape 7.2 and on Linux, Windows and Mac.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://test.ptagis.org/ptagis/
2.Click "DATA" (Top frame)
3.Click "Sites" (Top frame 2nd row)
4.Click "Separation" button (left frame)
5.Click any entry in the "Seperation" window
6.Click "Site Events" button
7.Resize window.

Actual Results:  
You loose all the content of the page after the resize.

Expected Results:  
The resized page should have the same content, but resized.

When you resize the page and loose its content, if you then go to any URL (just
go to any bookmark) then hit the back button, the page is back and working
correctly.  At this point you can resize it all you want and it works.

I also had my browser working with it resizeing correctly (I had several
extensions - QuickNote, OpenBook, googlebar,ImageZoom).  I disabled them all and
the resize problem appeared.  I re-enabled them and is still did not fix the
problem.   There is some combination which fixes it but I cannot figure out what
it is.  I saved the prefs.js file when it worked and when it stopped working and
they are both the same so it is not part of the prefs.js...

Now, maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing the wrong way, but in
http://test.ptagis.org/forums/js/home_page_pulldowns.js :

// Netscape Navigator requires a little push
function reloadNSN() {	top.location.reload(); }
if ((isNSN6 || isMoz5) || (isDynamic && isNSN)) { onresize = reloadNSN; }

I would expect that top.location.reload() would, well, reload the top frame, the
main frameset, back to its original contents. Since we're isMoz5, and isDynamic
and we're also isNSN, we're doubly bound to reload it onresize. That onresize =
reload() mostly predates me, but the way I hear it, people do that out of habit
because at least some versions of Netscape 4.x didn't reapply CSS when they
resized unless you forced them to reload. Might be worth commenting that out, to
see what happens.

(And harsh though it sounds, if I'm right, the resolution you're looking for is
INVALID.)

Thank you very much.  Your suggestion fixed the problem.  I am still unclear as
to why it worked if you go to another URL then back...  But it does work
correctly when commenting out the line.

Thanks again,
