"noresize" in Explorer

I have a simple two row frameset with the "noresize" attribute in the Frames tag. I set the ratio of frame 1 to frame 2 by specifying "80px,*" The result is about what I want but the frame size can still be adjusted by holding the mouse button down and rolling the pointer to the dividing line between the frames with the arrow switching to an adjustment icon. This in Explorer 7.0. In Firefox, no problem. Is "noresize" simply inoperative in Explorer?

Many, many things are defective or missing in Explorer. To answer your question: Probably.

Thanks Syntac, but I was hoping someone could confirm that "noresize" does not work in I.E. I am just a newbie in web construction and am always suspicious that maybe my code is the problem.

I recommend Opera for testing purposes. If it renders your page properly, chances are there's nothing wrong with your code (not because it's a crap browser, but because it's very strict).

Not sure if it'll work, but you can try using conditional comments to change the rendering depending on IE's needs.

Looks like I found the problem. Seems like the NORESIZE attribute shoud be entered as follows:
  • <frame src="banner.html" noresize="noresize">
Took finding a working example on the web to notice the difference.
My original code had the noresize attribute coming first in the tag rather than last. I really didn't know the order of attribute entries mattered.
