Inline frame overlapping stuff?

[Dario D.]

I have this nav bar inline frame on my bio page (here) that somehow overlaps the main central section in FF (not IE). Any ideas how this is happening? I'm using FrontPage (Expression Web 2), with limited knowlege of coding...

If you Inspect the central cell (where the bio pic and text resides) with Firebug, you can see its border highlights drop down below the inline navbar.

No takers?

unless you mean something else, I'm checking it in FF and it looks OK. maybe if you post a screencap telling what shouldn't be there or whatever

Hmm, interesting... This is what I see:

ok, there are a few things. First of all, dunno if we're using the same FF (I'm on 3.0.1) . Anyway, you have some issues in your page, a few CSS issues and a lot of html issues. Just use http://validator.w3.org/ to check the details, but just for a start you need to define a doctype. Plus, you're looking for trouble, ask yourself if you really, really, REALLY need those frames. And if you convince yourself you need them, ask it yourself again Clean up your page, it has a lot of garbage code, ie this:

<blockquote>
			<blockquote>
				<blockquote>
					<blockquote>
						<blockquote>
							<blockquote>
								<p style="margin-bottom: -20px;" align="left">
								<br><font color="#e8e8e8"><b>   Dario D's Bio </b></font></p>
							</blockquote>
						</blockquote>
					</blockquote>
				</blockquote>
			</blockquote>

what with all those blockquotes? and why do you mix inline, embedded and external stylesheets? you're supposed to use only one, and unless you have 1 or 2 css calls, it should be an external style sheet. Anyway, whether it's luck or whatever, the page looks as expected for me, and maybe other people, but it's just luck, ie it's different for you. My recommendation is to take those iframes and make the part with your photo as bg a div. Use fixed width and height (I saw you used image ready so it's easy as ABC, just save as css, center it and you're done). Or if for some reason you need iframes, do the smart thing: the iframe should be the middle, not both navs. Hope that helps.
