Clicking Google search results in a frame gives blank screen

The back story to this is that i use Firefox and I use a simple frames home page where my fave links(ebay,craigslist links mainly) are on the left frame of the screen and google opens up on the right frame. When I do a search with google it does what it does and gives me its search results. Normally when i click on one of the Google results the frame on the left stays and the right side goes to the link i clicked on. Not today though. All I get is a blank screen and Done in the status bar. The left frame is still there. This occurs on 2 computers. IE does not have a problem. Is it Google? Firefox? Or a combo of both?

Here's the code for my main frames page. I dont need to include the 2nd one.

On this forum you need to use the HTML entity &lt; for "<" and &gt; for ">". Use the CODE button after you have selected the text to put the text in a CODE block --- A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the MozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum. The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues. You need to register at the MozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
