I use ad-blocking software called "Ad-Subtract" to filter out all of the "annoyances" on websites (cookies, pop-up windows, Java, etc.). However, when I went to the Curious Labs website, and clicked the "Gallery" link, the gallery frame appeared within the main frame. I clicked the "Gallery page 2" link and that frame appeared in the "Gallery 1" frame, which was in the main frame. Clicking "Page 3" resulted in this screen- frames within frames! But, when I turned Ad-Subtract off, the site worked fine! The moral is: Web-surfers: be aware of websites that are not nice to ad-blocking software! Web-designers: do NOT use JavaScript or some other "cool technology" if you don't have to (you don't need JavaScript to show framed pages or clickable-links correctly)... and this type of "frame within frames within frames" annoys people very quickly! --John

I use 'Pop-Up Stopper' with IE6. I tried the CL galleries with it enabled. The frames worked correctly. Apparently, the problem lies more with your ad-blocking software than CL's site design.
