Give me hand, will you?
I am teaching myself PHP for a future project and using my site as my victim/test bed. I have reworked my "Photos" section and my "Guestbook" so far.
Could you take a look and tell me what you think?

First impression - this incarnation is the first one that didn't hang a browser other than IE. I dunno what you had up there on the old site, but it would stall Netscape, Firefox, Opera, etc. trying to load the main pic and just HOG the CPU.
Second impression - You should take a look on a non-IE browser. It's not playing nice.The top row has a vertical scroll bar on it and none of the buttons work.

I'll be in & out today, but will check back if you want to actively work on it.

Having a top frame that doesnt use size by % of screen is difficult to pull off. If you want to use frames I reccomend putting the site navigation on a left side or allow horrizontal scroll since when I make the screen small, the buttons wrap and cause a verticle scroll bar to appear for your top frame.
Looks great otherwise...just get some new buttons or just use text for your links

As far as hanging, nothing has changed on the main page, so that doesn't make any sense Literally, the only things I have dug into so far are the Guestbook and Photos sections. Both frames in the main page are the same as they have been for the last year.
The mechanism I am using for the nav buttons is this;
<INPUT id="Mods" type="button" value="Mods" name="Mods" onClick="JScript:parent.frames.mainFrame.navigate( 'mods/index.htm')">
Edit: Trying again without the <> since it executes it with them...
INPUT id="Mods" type="button" value="Mods" name="Mods" onClick="JScript:parent.frames.mainFrame.navigate( 'mods/index.htm')"
That should be pretty standard script, at least it seems to conform to the web standards that I am aware of. Suggestions?

In specific, I think you're looking for:
"Change 2 Frames"

Thanks for caring Rob.

Tried it out with opera and firefox on a linux pc. Firefox didn't like it much, but Opera had 0 problems, even left a mssg in the guestbook. I'm sure this is a huge relief to you, as Opera for linux is no doubt the #1 browser to view your website.
I really like the layout & way the slideshow works in your gallery section, very nice.

Okay guys, I reworked the nav buttons to scripting that is supposed to be more friendly to alternate browsers. I also reworked things to fit a bit better at 800x600, though it's not perfect. I also adjusted sizing to get rid of the scroll bar in the top frame.
Could those of you who reported issues take another look and tell me what you see?
