Oh good lord, Lorelle. This site displays perfectly in FF or any other browser I’ve got handy - including some seriously OLD versions of IE and Netscape. You must need your eyes checked…. as well as your machine.

As for Iframes, I’m fully with bj on this one. They’re just nasty for a lot of reasons….

[I STILL like frames myself, though of course I don't develop using them - but really, one menu loading the relevant info into a frame ALWAYS made sense to me *sigh*.]

And I don’t give a rat’s ass about SEO.

Lorelle, have you mistaken Frames for IFrames? If you didn’t, nothing you said makes sense.

BTW, this site you seem not to be able to read has been up for over two years now, and gets thousands of people a week coming through. You are the ONLY one who has had a problem accessing in Firefox (or any other browser, for that matter.) You might want to check and see if your box is infected with something nasty.

Iframes have little or nothing to do with content theft. Don’t know where you came up with that one. Those who want your stuff do so through feed scraping. If you have iframes within your feed content, your feeds would be pretty screwed up.

In fact, iframes have a bigger penalization. Search engines don’t go through them. So you lose in SEO. They also cause havoc for the disabled and visually impaired, and don’t hold up well in different browsers.

You also have other problems with your web page design. In Firefox, your post content area is very hard to read with blue lines going through it and other things overlapping it. Might want to fix that right away.
