Being new to web design I was given the job of trying to fix our web site. I managed to fix to make it more user-friendly but still have a problem. The site, [url]www.ikonscience.com[/url] displays ok in IE but when I open it in Firefox it only show the header, if I refresh the page it displays fine… I have only found ways to refresh the page ever X amount of seconds, is there any way to force the page to reload only once?? Any other alternatives too would be greatly received…

@peterw555authorNov 07.2005 — #Thank you for looking at so quickly... When I try internally it seems to need a refresh but if it works without refreshing externally we dont need to do anything. It just seemed the only way to get it to display properly in firefox is to refresh the pages... Sorry to be a pain but did you try some of the other links ?? Ie the news link??
@KeveyNov 07.2005 — #I spoke too soon. I see that problem in FF when I try and go to your news link...as well as others. I think the frames are a problem...not sure why yet though. Can you do this design without frames?
@drhowarddrfineNov 07.2005 — #You need a valid doctype. IE is in quirks mode.
EDIT: At least there is no doctype on the index page. Another possible problem is I noticed there is a news.htm and a news.html and I'm wondering if that's a cause. Also, you mix upper and lower case for html and css. You should keep it all lower case.
@peterw555authorNov 07.2005 — #Have thought about re-coding but seems a shame to re-do if all that needs to happen is to refresh the page and it displays, not sure why it does this, it works perfectly well in IE it just doesnt seem to work using Netscape or FF... Is there an easy way of converting a frame site to a non frame site??
@Robert_WellockNov 07.2005 — #Server side includes/CSS-P is the next easiest way to create that site without frames and I don't get any errors with FF 1.5.
