Its because you never enter the <body> tag

<html dir='ltr'>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="-1">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1800;
URL=http://localhost/Project/sessiontimeout.php">

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://localhost/Project/images/trrlogo1.ico"/>
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org">

<title>Page</title>

      document.write(getWarning());

document.write(frame);

To be honest i have never worked with frames. i consider them depreciated. If someone who knows what they are talking about here hasn't stepped in yet because they think Ive got this problem then go ahead and jump in the thread man cuz I don't pretend to be an expert at frames and stuff I have no clue about.

pavanpuligandla · November 2, 2008

If someone who knows what they are talking about here hasn't stepped in yet

they will not answer here, bcoz i;ve been trying for days but failed in getting the solution.i've posted my problem, so those people shld help me.

hey you have any tutorials of frames mate?

yes i too dun prefer frames, they have many disadvantages over div, but my coding is atmost done, so i cannot change now..

thnx mate for d come back...

BoltZ · November 2, 2008

Worst english ever but I guess w3schools.com would be a good tutorial.

Worst english ever

whose english is worst?? mine??

pavanpuligandla · November 2, 2008

hurray..

my issue was solved...

as i'm showing warning in one of my frames, if session ends then page expired message was shown on that frame only and rest of the frames remain constant.

so i just added this line

parent.document.location='sessionexpire.php';

previously it was

document.location='sessionexpire.php';

parent is the page containin 3 frames..

regards,

Don't use frames. Seriously. Even if you get it to work, sites with frames cannot be accessed by most web crawlers.

Use divs instead. There are lots of tutorials out there to get you on your way.

Hope this helps.

While it is true most people don't like frames there is still the debate whether or not to use them if needed. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean people should stop using them

likethegoddess · November 3, 2008

It would be easy if this were simply my personal preference. With all due respect, Boltz, I can safely say that the vast majority of professional web designers no longer use frames and haven't used frames for many years.

I suppose then the question is whether frames are truly needed. Can what the coder is attempting be accomplished with divs instead?

No. JavaScript may be able, but I wouldn't know. And I am sure most people DON'T use frames but thats not the point. People still use them. Hell even Google uses frames

likethegoddess · November 3, 2008

Hmm. Google uses iframes. Slightly different.

Unless you're talking about the frames applied to third-party sites in image search. That's frames and that's a very special circumstance.
