Frame not loading

Anon

I've got a frameset like this:

<frameset  rows="113,*" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" border="0">
    <frame name="banner" src="topmenu.php"
           scrolling="no" NORESIZE="NORESIZE">
    <FRAMESET ROWS="*,42" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0" BORDER="0">
      <FRAME NAME="menu" SRC="<?php echo "menu/$ses_menu";?>.php" SCROLLING="auto" NORESIZE="NORESIZE">
      <FRAME NAME="orders" SRC="menu/ordered.php" SCROLLING="no" NORESIZE="NORESIZE">
    </FRAMESET>
</frameset>

Usually everything works fine, but sometimes when the frame loads, I get a browser message, "Netscape is unable to locate the server, [no name specified]", and the bottom frame ("orders") is missing. (The middle frame, "menu", has no problems.) The page source looks fine:

      <FRAME NAME="menu" SRC="menu/drinks.php" SCROLLING="auto" NORESIZE="NORESIZE">
      <FRAME NAME="orders" SRC="menu/ordered.php" SCROLLING="no" NORESIZE="NORESIZE">

Has anyone run into something like this before?

If the user clicks a button in the middle frame ("menu"), ordered.php gets reloaded through a header function, header("Location: ordered.php");, but I don't see how that could be affecting it. The frame only messes up when the page loads, not when the user orders from menu. Also, if I reload the page, the bottom frame loads perfectly.

Any clue as to what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

This sounds more like a server problem than anything browser related but Netscape is as flakey a browser as they come so I wouln't be surprised if it was some crazy Netscape-ism.

It could be Netscape related. I haven't seen it happen in IE, but since it's only occasional I can't say for sure. On the other hand, Netscape handles most frame pages just fine, so there's got to be something in my code that causing it.
