IE 7 and Framsets

IE 7 and Framsets

• hrubesh

  i am actually having the same problem. my website has been up and running flawlessly for quite sometime now. it works on just about every browser EXCEPT IE 7. why do the links open in completely new windows
  
  if you're in IE 7, you can see the problem for yourself at:
  
  http://www.ramblinsouls.com
  
  
  the frame code goes like this:
  
  <FRAMESET ROWS="170,*" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" LEFTMARGIN="10" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
  <FRAME SRC="http://ramblinsouls.com/head.html" NAME="TOPNAV" SCROLLING="NO" NORESIZE BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" LEFTMARGIN="100" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" BORDERCOLOR="#000000"></FRAME>
  <FRAME SRC="http://www.ramblinsouls.com/welcome.html" NAME="MAIN" SCROLLING="YES" BORDER="0" FRAMEBORDER="0" LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0"></FRAME>
  </FRAMESET>
  
  
  the links are contained in "head.html", which goes like this:
  
  <hr width="700">
  &nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="http://www.ramblinsouls.com/welcome.html" target="MAIN">Home</A>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

  Same problem here. If you try to load a page in a frameset from a different (sub)domain it will be displayed in a new window.
  
  Example:
  
  frameset from www.acme.com
  internal page from foobar.acme.com --> New Window
  internal page from www.acme.com --> Correct behaviour
  
  I noticed that with the company proxy set the problem doesn't occur, only when we use direct connection.
  
  I hope this will be fixed soon.

  I'm having the same problem.. It only happens when you go off your orignal domain and then try to go back.. I suppose it's a security thing.. I would be happy it there was a way around it.

  Bugada . . . How can this work when all the visitors to a site don't have this option turned on

  Also, there is no way to contact everyone in the world and tell them to turn on this option.

  If I'm not understanding, please let me know.

  This problem sounds like mine.

  Please look at:

  I found a workaround:
  
  go to Internet Options -> Security Tab -> Custom Level
  
  look for this setting "Navigate sub-frames across different domains" and set it to Enable (default is Disable).
  
  It seems that IE7 handles subdomain from the same domain as different domains, as IE6 didn't do.
  
  Hope this helps.

  Yes, me too. I'm looking since two hours to find an answer in the web.
  
  It would be nice if someone from Mircrosoft can be post an answer. Is this a bug or a feature This problem happen with many affiliate links using in a frame. If the link point to another domain, the target are ignored by IE7 and a new window open. ...not nice...
