Hello Jimmy,
I am not entirely sure, but I don't think it is a problem with the guestbook. I think the problem is IE6. It is common knowledge that IE6 is a bad browser, a lot of websites have dropped support for IE6 already (i am not saying you should do this). But in my opinion everyone who still uses IE6 should upgrade to at least IE7.
The only fault i could detect in your guestbook is that with the w3c html validation tool says that
<html> should be replaced by
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
Greetings,
Henrie

hey henrie, thx for your help!
The problem is, the website will mainly be visited by people who don't use internet that often, so most of them will use an old version of IE.
you don't have any ideas to improve this? =/

I don't know if it could be a problem with the guestbook being displayed inside a frame. But i don't really think it is. I serve all my guestbooks in framed sites and never had any problems (some also run a modified version 1.5).
You say that it is mostly people who don't use internet that often.
Maybe the internet connection is not fast enough and/or it takes to long for the guestbook page to be served by the php-preprocessor. And IE6 then shows an error that the page can not be displayed.
Unfortunately I don't know a way to fix this. Maybe Klemen has an idea. He is much better at this than I.
