Details

REALLY strange: Try going to http://www.avides.com/avides/ Now in the blue menu bar click on "SERIEN" and then on "HARDWARE" and back on "SERIEN" and then "HARDWARE" again. If you do this 3 or so times, at some point the frameset won't update the lower frame with the content anymore. I'm trying to do highlighted menu-buttons without using JavaScript, so I use cascading framesets that are called dynamically by PHP. Basically I load a new frameset whenever a menu-item is selected. This works everywhere, just not with Mozilla/Netscape 6.
I can reproduce but is this a valid behavior? Why not use CSS?
I don't use CSS because the page should work on any browser that supports frames (it's a shopping system). I checked all my code with HTML-Validator and I don't think building framesets in a tree is invalid. Netscape 2/3/4, IE and Opera all work fine. Would be a real shame if this wouldn't work in Mozilla (and hard to explain to customers...)
I like to test that, but I can't get on this server, very nice Thank you, HJ.
I'm not able to reproduce the problem with the Dec 19th build. I can successfully load html pages into the frameset multiple times when clicking links. Reporter, could you please pull the latest build and try it again ?
Just tried the latest build (Dec, 21st). The bug is still there. You have to switch between two points multiple times (8 to 10 sometimes). I think the problem occurs more often (only?) when you switch the frames while the others are still loading. As if some info about the frame structure isn't updated before all the whole page has loaded. I also noticed: Once you're stuck with a frame you can just free yourself with the Reload-button.
This would be a cache problem then?
I have been able to reproduce the problem described but it's not always easy to reproduce for me. The end result is that the bottom frame is rendered without any content. Reloading the page does fix the problem. Tested under Windows ME with the 200101204.

This is a dupe of 60603. I can reproduce the "doesn't update" part of this bug with URL of bug 60417 (also duped).
