Safari does not load frames triggered from within other frames?

I am a new to Safari and I like the browser very much. I have run into a nasty problem though, that I was unaware of earlier on when using other browsers.
Some time ago, I made a website that makes extensive use of frames. The index page is actually a frameset page that loads information into the main frame. Through a basic JavaScript in this main frame, additional information is loaded into other frames on the frameset page. Whenever the user hits a link in the main frame, the JavaScript updates the other frames.
This has always worked fine in Netscape, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera, both on the Mac and Windows platforms. BUT not in Safari.
Can anybody help me out? What am I doing wrong that Safari refuses to execute what other browsers seem to accept as normal?
I removed the actual site temporarily, as I don’t want to block off Safari users. Yet I created a very basic mini-site that may explain the problem. This mini-site can be accessed at:
thttp://www.chem.kuleuven.be/safety/grrrrh/start.html
Try it out with any of the mentioned browsers and then with Safari and you will see what I mean. To access the code, use one of the other browsers and download the frameset page completely. All 5 documents are truly basic and therefor very short. They only show the principle, no whistles, no bells.
If this kind of question would not belong to this forum, can anyone point me to one that deals with this type of problems?
Tx fpr helping me out.
PowermacG5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Safari 2.0.3

Dear Tom & Andy,
thanks for taking the time to look into my problem.
I didn't know Safari is really picky on code, so will remember that for the future. Tx for the suggestion, Tom.
But things are getting even weirder!
First of all to set things straight, I am on the same versions of Safari and Firefox as the both of you and tested the minisite in Netscape 7 & 8, IE 5 (Mac) & 6 (Wintel) and Opera 8. As I stated eearlier, none of these have trouble reading and interpreting the "messy" code in www......start.html. Only Safari had.
But when I access my minisite now via the Internet, Safari renders all frames OK. I can see grey, yellow and pink frames with text, as it should be. So now I see what you see also, Tom. The previous problem, as you obviouslyencountered also, Andy, has mysteriously disappeared. Strange.
Adding insult to injury, when I download all five files from the minisite (start.html, main.htm, nav.htm, banner.htm & Frames.js) and put these in a folder on my local disk, the problem resurfaces again when I click start.html.
Adding a DOCTYPE statement to the start.html file on my hard disk does not help either.
Firefox and the other browsers mentioned still do a perfect job rendering the framepage from the downloaded content irrespective of whether the DOCTYPE statement is present or not. Only Safari refuses.
The only difference I can see between the www....start.html filee and the one from my hard disk is the way I access them: via http or straight by double-clicking.
I am still (and even more) puzzled.

  • OS X Lion--Safari does not load pages. Updated OS X Lion and Safari does not function

    I updated to OS X Lion and now Safari does not load any pages.

    Actually there would be more than two possible reasons, but I appreciate your input.  To answer your questions, YES and YES.  All other machines and devices in the vicinity als work flawlessly though have not been upgraded (?) to Lion.
    After the install of Lion, Safari stopped working.  It loads a page OK then with no movement on my part it goes to a grey screen with the indicated message.   I force a reload and it may or may not work, then suddenly goes to the same grey screen again.  Over and over again.  I haven't lost connection, not have I lost DNS connectivity.   The program after upgrade has failed and Safari is telling me in a manner which I have never seen before that it cannot load the page, despite the facxt that it has already loaded and then lost on its own.  When I boot from a backup Snow Leopard Disk it reverts to a functional system with Safari Ok.  I have removed all remnents of Safari and restored with same problem. 
    Of course, one cannot go back from Lion and Safari 5.1 will not install on Lion so the problem would seem to be uniquely particular to the upgrade as repeated by many others on the net.
    I'm open for suggestions but not accepting the possibility of a software glitch is no help.
    Thanks again,

  • Safari does not load google or any web page related to google

    Hello everybody.
    Safari does not want to load google or any web page related to google (youtube, gmail, etc.). However, other webpages work just fine. I am connected to the internet.
    I had this problem back in June. I went back home (where google worked) and when I came back to my boarding school, I could not access any  of the sites mentioned above from my school's internet. Summer vacation arrived, I left the school got back home where google became once again accessible. Now I am back in my school. Google worked well until 2 hours ago. I do not know what is happening.
    I have tried to reset safari but it did not do anything. Firefox can't load google also.
    I run the last version of Leopard (10.5.8).
    Please help me!!

    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.

  • Safari does not load the website

    Hi,
    I am running MAC OS X 10.4.7 using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3).
    Ever since I started using this computer (1 week back) Safari just does not load the pages. The website that I am trying to load is http://www.apple.com/startpage/ or the default page of Safari as installed. This also happens with many other pages.
    The browser starts loading the page and the blue bar just stops mid way and nothing happens post that. I have waited for almost 20mins for it to load, however that never loads. If I press the Stop button, I do see the partial HTML thats loaded in the browser, but the page never loads completely.
    My internet connection is fast, since I am able to load the same page or any other page in FireFox with no problems.
    Can you please support me with what to look at to resolve this problem?
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi! Yes I have experienced similar difficulty with Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). Although I am using Safari to browse this site now, it does seem prone to reject some sites. When it works it work beautifully. There must be a gremlin glitch in there somewhere!
    All I can suggest that that you switch to another browser such as Netscape 7.2 or Firefox to resolve this issue as and when it happens.
    Happy surfing!

    Since I loaded Leopard, Safari is not loading some of the webpages that I go to regularly. If I move my mouse over the page some of the text starts to show but not the webpage. When i use my scroll wheel on my mouse to look at the lower part of the page then the page is displayed properly. Safari has always worked well with 10.4 and now that I have 10.5 i'm running into some issues. Can someone please advise? Thanks

  • Safari does not load webpages.

    Hello, I have recently had a problem with webpages not loading in Safari. Some pages load up fine while others attempt to load but end up saying that "Safari cannot find the server." Does anyone know what the problem might be? I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and Safari 7.0.1, I have also noticed some pages take extemely long to load. This was never a problem before it had just started happening over the past couple of days. Thanks for your help.

    HI,
    Several things to try.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems accessing some websites...
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    If third party Safari add-ons aren't the issue, Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    And repair disk permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • ASC 2.0 ant - does not load compiler constants from config.xml files

    Constants added to the mxmlc task with a config xml file do not work.
    Below, the CONFIG::debug and CONFIG::release constants will compile, but the one defined in the config-common.xml file (CONFIG::pi) does not.
    Portion of an ant macro:
    <mxmlc
    file="@{source.dir}/@{source.file}"
    output="@{output.dir}/@{project.name}.@{output.extension}"
    debug="@{debug}"
    target-player="@{target-player}"
    accessible="@{accessible}"
    use-network="@{use-network}"
    swf-version="@{swf.version}"
    inline="@{inline}"
    default-frame-rate="@{frameRate}"
    >
    <default-size width="@{width}" height="@{height}" />
    <source-path path-element="@{source.dir}" />
    <define name="CONFIG::debug" value="@{debug}"/>
    <define name="CONFIG::release" value="!CONFIG::debug"/>
    <load-config filename="config-common.xml" />
    <load-config filename="config-as-beta.xml" />
    <load-config filename="@{load-config}" />
    <arguments />
    </mxmlc>
    contents of config-common.xml:
    <flex-config>
    <compiler>
    <define append="true">
    <name>CONFIG::pi</name>
    <value>3.1415926535897932384626433832795</value>
    </define>
    </compiler>
    </flex-config>
    Compiling a ".as" file with something something like "trace(CONFIG::pi);" will result in "Error: Can not resolve config constant: 'pi'" with the ant macro.
    Using the Flash Builder 4.7 compiler with "Addition compiler arguments" set to "-define+=CONFIG::debug,true -define+=CONFIG::release,false -load-config+=config-common.xml -inline" does not produce the error. 

    I'm not sure I added the bug to the right place anymore.  It's been added to bugbase.adobe.com under AIR 3.4, but  I'm not sure if that covers the actionscript compiler 2 or not because I found another bug tracker at bugs.adobe.com.  The actual bug is here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3339017
    Does anyone know where to post bugs for the actionscript compiler 2.0?

  • Safari does not load large images

    Images like on http://imgur.com/a/ZKhFa#zV5Hq9q do not load properly.
    The load halfway, and when they become a certain size, they do not load anymore.
    I have noticed this since OS X Mavericks.
    Firefox and Chrome load these images properly.

    Might be a Safari extension or third party plug-in preventing the images from loading properly.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Firefox 3.6.12 does not load nay images from Joomla sites 1.5.21 and above. Works on Safari but Not Firefox. This happened after the firefox upgrade. All Joomla 1.5.20 and below work ok. why is this happening?

    I have been developing Joomla sites for more than 4 years now and generally all the Joomla sites work well in Firefox. In this case, however, ever since Joomla upgraded to 1.5.21 and above, all Joomla sites on this level are having problems with Firefox 3.6.12 loading images.
    We have tested a number of Joomla template manufactures and all the results are the same.
    This problem is with the macbook pro only thus far. All the other apple products, like the towers, etc. are fine.
    Not sure why this is happening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Leland

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Apple TV does not load rented items from iTunes in less than three (3) hours depsite YouTube, Netflix and network being fine.  How can I get Apple to actually provide the iTunes service I am paying for?

    I'm just tired of waiting on this inept device and it's underserved iTunes counterpart being unable to deliver enough bandwidth to load a show within a reasonable amount of time.  I'm a big Apple fan and an equally big critic.  This whole rig is a big FAIL so far, Apple.  There is nothing ON DEMAND about the iTunes Store at this point.  Netflix and YouTube work better on Apple TV than their own iTunes Store!  And, this has been going on for a few years now, unremedied, and is only getting worse with more people buying these devices!  I do not reccommend this device to people like I used to.
    The good news is, that iTunes will give refunds about 85% of the time if I explain my problem the way I have here.  SO, ATTENTION: EVERYONE WITH AN APPLE TV: If you have this same issue with iTunes Store not properly serving your paid content, do not hesitate to ask for your money back.  It's the least they can do for the amount of life wasted waiting for a show to load.  Not to mention, all the disappointments with the kids at bedtime and when my wife and I want to just relax and turn something on.
    Bottom Line: ITUNES IS UNDER-SERVED!!!
    OR
    There is a massive conspiracy by cable and DSL ISPs against Apple taking away TV viewers.  Is it possible the ISPs are somehow limiting or buffering the data packets coming through the port(s) employed by iTunes Store?  Like I say, with me and many others on this forum, the problem lies solely with iTunes Store.  Youtube, Netflix, Podcasts and everything else generally serve up just fine.  The iTunes Store, however, is a consistent failure.  Something that seems unusual for Apple not to address, being so customer-centric and all.
    Please share any links or insights you have here so the faithful might get to the bottom of this incredibly annoying problem. I WANT MY ATV!

  • Safari does not load page completely

    On some pages, Safari loads pages partially. For instance, if I go to "theweathernetwork.com" (which is a page that contains sub-windows), some times, it loads only the first sub-window of the page and not the entire page. I have to refresh the page several times to get the entire page displayed completely. I have the same problem with other sites. That seems to occur randomly. I could access a site without problem at some time, but if I return to the same site later, I could have the problem explained above. Any ideas for this problem? Thanks.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.
