Hi!

I've got the following configuration:
PHP 4.1.0 running as ISAPI-Module on Apache 1.3.22

The following "problem" results only (!) if I use .php as extension. 

I originally programmed the entire site with the extension .html. I used IE-specific CSS-elements to change the color/style of the scrollbar. It all worked fine.

Then I wanted to use .php as extension instead, so that I could use a prepend if necessary (e.g. include a config.php, etc.). It seemed to work fine still, PHP code is executed, the page is shown as usual. Only that the scrollbar is not shown with its changed appearance anymore. If I change back to .html everythings fine again.

I can't explain this because I have in mind, that everything that is outside of <?php-Tags is sent unchanged to the browser. And the Source-Code (right-click in Internet-Explorer) shows no differences between the two files. Still it doesn't seem to work with .php

Hereby the necessary files:

hp_mitte.php:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Pfarrgemeinde St. Maria Geburt, Duderstadt-Gerblingerode</title>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function checkFrameset() 
  {if(!parent.oben) location.href="index.php";}
--></script>
<style type="text/css"><!--
body {margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; 
      scrollbar-face-color:#FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color:#43CBFF; 
      scrollbar-shadow-color:#43CBFF; scrollbar-3dlight-color:#43CBFF; 
      scrollbar-arrow-color:#43CBFF; scrollbar-track-color:#D5D5D5; scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#43CBFF;}
table {border:0px;}
--></style>
</head>
<body onLoad="checkFrameset()">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" height="100%">
  <tr bgcolor="#D5D5D5">
    <td height="24px" colspan="3">
    <font style="font: bold 12pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
      &nbsp;&nbsp;Startseite
    </font>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="center" colspan="3" valign="middle">
        <img src="images/kirche.jpg" /><br />
        <font style="font:10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
        Pfarrkirche St. Maria Geburt
        </font>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<body>
</html>

index.php:

<!DOCTYPE php PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD php 4.0 Frameset//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Pfarrgemeinde St. Maria Geburt, Duderstadt-Gerblingerode</title>

    <frame src="hp_rechts.php" noresize="noresize" scrolling="no" name="rechts" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
  </frameset>
  <frame src="hp_unten.php" noresize="noresize" scrolling="no" name="unten" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
  <noframes>
    <body>
    </body>
  </noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

The other files are not really important, you can have empty files and the same problem results (or results not depending on the file-extension).

I hope you can help me!

check your DOCTYPE definition:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">

it's WRONG. either chose the right one or leave it out.

Kind Regards,

Thanks, I tried changing the wrong DOCTYPE-Definition (I replaced all extensions .html with .php via Search and Replace, so also the DOCTYPE-Definition was wrong afterwords), aswell as deleting it from the file, but it didn't work out unfortunately.

Have you got another clue?

Actually, it's to do with the IE engine not interpreting css correctly. Remember, that the scroll bar code is a: microsoft proprietary, and b: not standard compliant. Thus, the error is in the ie engine in the way it inteprets html. I have found that this works sometimes and sometimes not on .php files, and the same is true for .html files. Go yell at Microsoft. :)

Hi,

I found the solution:

The Internet Explorer needs the following DOCTYPE-Definition:

<!DOCTYPE html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 transitional//EN">

Thanks a lot for your help!
