Can you please add more detail as to what you want to accomplish?

Frame 10 and Frame 11 are trying to load an htm web page.

Hi maahanm, was my assumption correct that you see the ASP code instead of it being executed? If this is the case please follow my advice on checking your IIS configuration.

You 1) violated XML structure (and even HTML), 2) failed to define layout for all 4 HTML pages. Because of invalid layout you could only see first page "page1.asp" on top.

Replace first opening tag with the following:

HTML

<frameset rows="20%, 80%" cols="30%, 60%" framespacing="1" frameborder="yes" border="1" bordercolor="#CCCCCC">

All four pages (URLs defined by src attributed) should exist.

For more detail, read this: http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/frames/frameset.html[^], and, for example, this: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_frameset.asp[^].

(Attention! There are a lot of warnings against using frames -- you can find a lot of posts in the topic. I personally don't care.)

Good luck!

Solution 3

First of all you need to correct your HTML code sample as it contains unpaired quotes.
Regarding your question as to why you are seeing code is that your IIS probably isn't configured to run ASP scripts. Please check your IIS configuration for that.

Best Regards,
Manfred

While OP tagged question with asp, he is using dreamweaver and not showing any asp related stuff. I guess he is not using asp.et at all ..., actually he has added an answer to his own question - no asp.net ...

Manfred Rudolf Bihy 27-Jan-11 16:28pm

When I said ASP Espen I meant ASP. OP seems to use this outdated technology :). I still think if he sees "code" as he put it there must be some configuration issue with IIS.

Espen Harlinn 27-Jan-11 17:09pm

YES, you are so right, I missed the src="main.asp" ...

Maybe he needs to know about this nice little download: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/ and master pages - he would probably be infinitely better off leveraging .Net 4 instead of the old asp
