Hi every1, i'm new to this site and hope sum1 can help me. for sum beknown reason, DWMX will not preview my homepage frameset (homepage.html). i have a top frame (topframe.html) and a mainframe (mainframe.html). Iinternet Explorer 6 then displays "page cannot be displayed...cannot find server or DNS error. this also happened to me when i was using DW on a i-Mac. i've literally tried everything and am out of ideas. last night i re-installed DWMW and the frameset previewed fine...until this morning.

funny u should ask actually...there i was ready to give up on the whole thing and started reading my new book called MACROMEDIA DREAMWEAVER FOR WINDOWS AND MACINTOSH (by Visual Quickstart Guide), i stumbled across a TIP at the bottom of the page (402) titled RELATIVE THEORY. i haven't got time to type the whole thing as i'm packing to go2 TENERIFE for a week ( jealous...u should be...it's HOT!) but here's the general idea.
" in my experience, browsers prefer that frames documents be linked to one another using document-relative links rather than site-root relative links. if you use site-root relative links, you may run across a problem when previewing your pages, whereas that doesn't happen if you set your links as document-relative to the frameset page. internet explorer in particular likes frame pages to use document-relative links"
I haven't even tried this yet as i've been soooo busy!!
Let me know how u got on
GOOD LUCK
