Troubleshooting

Frames are too spread out or overlap

The Inprise GridBagLayout Tutorial web page is optimized for 800x600 screen resolution. To get the best frame display, set your monitor to this resolution, or resize the frames to fit your screen.

Pages are blank

If you open the browser on the GridBagLayout tutorial web page and the frames are blank, you probably are not using a browser that supports frames. You need to either update your browser or open the individual contents and index files. See Viewing the book files without frames.
