PRB: Samples Displaying Blank Pages After Internet Explorer 4.0 Installation (175320)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows NT 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 98
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows 95
- Microsoft Visual InterDev 1.0
This article was previously published under Q175320 SYMPTOMS
When viewing the "Dos Perros" sample that comes with Visual InterDev, the
first page displays correctly, but navigating to one of the links on the
site map displays a blank screen.
CAUSE
The following conditions cause this error to occur:
- The client is using Internet Explorer 4.0 to view the page.
- The page contains both a "<Body>" tag and a "<Frameset>" tag (for
example, the "Nav.asp" page in the DosPerros sample).
FRAMESET and BODY are mutually exclusive tags for IE4. Either use one or
the other. If you use both, the second one will be ignored.
This was done in Internet Explorer 4.0 to ensure compatibility with
Netscape and to comply with HTML 4 DTD.
RESOLUTION
Remove the BODY tag in "Nav.asp" of your DosPerros project.
In general, if you are using the BODY element to set attributes for the
contents of the FRAMESET, move these attributes to the FRAMESET.
Any SCRIPT or OBJECT tags used in a FRAMESET definition document should be
defined in the HEAD section of the document; otherwise, they will imply a
BODY element, and the FRAMESET will be ignored.
STATUS
This IE 4.0 behavior is by design.
