[web] Internet Explorer 7 sucks? (Problem with Frames)

Started by
0 comments, last by Sander 17 years, 6 months ago
I have a frame page with a left and right frame....the left frame is called "contents" and the right frame is called "meg_menu_display"... I have two domains...metroeguide.com and metroeguide.net I have a page on metroeguide.net with links that target="meg_menu_display", if I stick that page in a frame on metroeguide.com (into the left frame) all the links open in new windows...I cannot find a solution..(other than putting the pages on the same domain)...this works fine within internet explorer 6 and firefox...just not IE7 Any help would be appreciated [edit] The pages sources might be helpful [/edit] The Frameset Page (metroeguide.com)

I suppose it's a security restriction in IE7, which means you'll have to work around it.

If you have control of the server then you could put the left frame contents in a separate directory and symlink it in such a way that you can reach it through both domains.
