Validating Code

I've been working on the midterm and was using the Validator. It doesn't seem to like my use of frames. Are we allowed to use frames on our websites?

I also found out that when trying to position objects on a site, IE and Netscape come out looking completely different. It's hard to get both looking the way I want.

Yup, positioning cross-browser, cross-platform can get tricky. Frames are even trickier. Unless there's a really compelling reason for it, I'd avoid frames. If you use them, be careful about sticking with valid attributes, and using the frames doctype for validation.

If you are using frames to have something like a menu displayed on everypage (which seems to be the most common use today) you might want to try using server side includes or php includes instead, they present less cross browser issues.
