Problem with frames

[gibs94]

Hello,

I've installed the chat with no problem in a directory called www/chat/ and access the page called index.php in this directory.

Then i've written a page called index.html with 3 frames. One of this frames (the main frame) opens the chat script index.php

Most users don't have any problem with accessing the chat in the frame layout, but some Mac users (with Safari) can't open the frame index.php, sometimes this page remains empty (unloaded) and some other times it loads but they can't see the messages container....

Is there a problem with using frames and Safari ?

Thanx

I don't think this is a phpfreechat related problem.
I think this is a Safari behaviour ... maybe ask the safari developers ?

However I don't encourage use of frames. Frames are the "old web" fashion. And frames elements are not valid for new XHTML standards.

regards,

Thanks for your answer.

I understand what you think about the "old web" layouts using frames. However, the reason why I'm using frames is that I need a page to be reloaded (using javascript) in the main layout, so users may chat while the other content is automatically reloaded (this other content is not related to the chat, but still necessary)...

I've posted the same question on a Safari forum, but they only replied that the problem was coming from the chat

In this case, do you see a method to have this working ?

Best regards.

I've the same problems in my frames....

I am a webdeveloper who started a new project: a european discussion-center ( i know there are a lot).

I want to have the possebility to let my visitors chat with eachother.

This script phpfreechat is perfect for this.

I can make my own style, so it will fit.

But as i see now.... it's not working in my iframe.....

i got a runtime error from ie6

As well as my friends who are testing it.... even the demo... but not the demo on your site.... so what's the difference???


specs:
Microsoft SBS 2003 web
Apache2
php5
MySQL5

without iframe it's working perfect, but i need the possebility to work in iframes.

please help .

i got a runtime error from ie6

I need a more detailed report :
- pfc version
- php safe_mode value
- public url of your chat

On idea : a workaround is to open the chat in a popup window.

[Rocojo]

Ok here it is:

safe_mode = Off
version = 0.9.3

ok this is the link...... but it is under construction and the page is planned to be ready in the summer of 2006.

http://www.discussion-center.eu/index_noreg.php

chat:
http://80.56.185.151/chat/

only for now it's accesible.

I hope i gave enough info.

[phpfreechat]

could you try with the default theme ? (ex: demo1)

[Rocojo]

Ok i did.


Now its the original situation after installing...

[phpfreechat]

Ok, it doesn't change anything.

Your html code is a bit crappy.
Maybe it's why there is this strange error.
I suggest you to clean your html code (make it valide).
Try to write your frame directly without this javascript :

Code: Select all

<script type='text/javascript'>

document.write('<div><img src="./Source/images/back.jpg" border="0" STYLE="position:absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: '+document.body.clientWidth+'px; height: '+document.body.clientHeight+'px; z-index: -1;"></div>');
document.write('<div><IFRAME ID="DCMain" NAME="DCMain" frameborder=0 scrolling=no SRC="./Main/IndexII.php" allowtransparency="true" STYLE="position:absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: '+document.body.clientWidth+'px; height: '+document.body.clientHeight+'px; z-index: 1;"></IFRAME></div>');

</script>

Another idea : try to isolate the problem by removing and cleaning incrementaly your web page. (you can do that on a copy)

[Rocojo]

Ok i will,

Thanx for the help...

When i got results i let you know

[Rocojo]

I made two the same pages:

http://www.discussion-center.eu/indexii.php

http://80.56.185.151/chat/indexii.php

on http://80.56.185.151/dcchat/ is the chatscript

[Rocojo]

on the bottom you see a link to chat

the first link is not working the others do

[Rocojo]

the first one needs to work by the way!!

my webpage is NOT located at
http://80.56.185.151/chat/indexii.php

[Rocojo]

Ok for now i changed the location of my chatscript.

Its now located on the same server as the domainname..... but please check the script for this.... i think more people are going to have problems with this

[Rocojo]

Ok my friends still cannot chat..... when typing, the ie6 is crashing.... so i desided to search for other scripts to test.

Thank you for the help.
