Well, take a look at your code, you are missing some very specific elements:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
the document decleration type, the head and title tags. Also, very closely review your code, is there any open brackets that need to be closed?
Also, look at your frameset codes as shown below with errors noted:
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2//en">
<html>
<head>
<title>
Unofficial Drew Carey Fan Page</title>
<meta name="description" content="The site for Drew Carey Lovers">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Page-Enter" CONTENT=RevealTrans(Duration=4,Transition=3)">

</HEAD>
<frameset cols="100%" rows="100,*" border="1" frameborder="1" framespacing="1">
<frame name="top" src=" (Closing bracket before margins is a no no > <---- this could be causing your problem.) marginwidth="1" marginheight="3" scrolling="no" frameborder="no">
<frameset cols="170,*" border="1" frameborder="1" framespacing="1">

IE is more friendly for the beginning designer and will allow you to make minor mistakes and still show your page, NS is not forgiving - it will not render your page unless your code is accurate.
Also, the only tags that are required in the frameset are the frameset tags, NO HTML tags (Head, title, html). You may keep your meta tags there.
Hope this helped!

I would not recommend leaving the html, head, and title tags out of a page containing a frameset...
The browser will still render the page without these (just like it will with a non-frames page missing these tags), but it is definitely good practice to leave them in.
The tag you should not include in a frames page is the body tag, because the frameset tag(s) replace it.
Just my 2 cents...

Thanks aperfectcircle. I have gotten the site working in netscape now. It seems the main problem was that my page names did not end in "html." Also the top frame did not scroll because of the > in the wrong place as WebGodiva had mentioned. Thanks again you guys. I appreciate the help.
