one of my friends emailed me and told me that they opened a fanlisting i own, and a virus warning came up!
does anyone know how i can fix this? or if it does the same thing to you?

also, i was wondering why in my inlineframe, the text box looks crooked on my site, like its not positioned properly, but when I edit it in frontpage it looks normal. is there anyway i can fix this either? its on the same page link as above link

help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't get a virus warning.

As for your inline frame, you probably have to edit your page in notepad. Frontpage can be a little weird sometimes

Its out of place, its over to the left too much.

Could it be a pop-up advertisement? I've seen alot lately that seem like a virus alert or message alert. An unexperienced web surfer may think it is "real" as they do look very real.

I would imagine the virus(?) alert was simply a prompt to warn the surfer that an unsafe activeX control was trying to manipulate the page. In IE, the source of an iframe can be dynamically changed through using javascript, which in turn fires an activeX event. Anyone setting their [tools][internet options]/security\ activeX settings to prompt/disable would be served an alert telling them of the event in question.

There are quite a number of dodgy loopholes regarding IE and iframes, 'tis why I surf in moz and have all activeX disabled for IE on the rare instances I use that.

It has to do with your screen res. You're using 800x600 right? It looks offcenter for all other resolutions.

Is it possible for you to align your image to the left (or right)? That way you could position your iframe from the top and left (or top and right), and it would be the same in all resolutions.

what is a good size for a webpage?

800x600, a lot of people use it, but a lot of people are switching over to 1024x768, just use 800x600, if you use 1024x768 and people on a 800x600 resolution go to view the site, it would be too big to fit their screen and they would have to scroll a bunch :p
