Frames

[oracle128]

I created a site using MS Front Page 2000, and i made the index.html page one with frames. The frame goes to frame.htm and the main page goes to home.htm, but when i uploaded the site, the main page doesn't load. It says it can't be found, however i know the file IS there, and clicking on home in the frames page takes you to the right place, so i know it works and all, but the page just isn't loading straight away when the user goes to the site. Go here (http://www.emucites.com/leisure/fhbc/) to see what i mean.
Thanks

Your link doesn't seem to be working at the moment, that server doesn't exist apparently...

My first suspect would be case sensitivity if it's working on the hard disk but not on the server.

By that I mean if the link points to Home.html and the file is called home.hmtl then it will work on the hard disk but not on a unix based server.

I've seen earlier versions of FrontPage do stupid tricks like this, even do <img src="a:\map.jpg"> which worked perfectly on my colleague's machine... :D

I reiterate the best web building advice I've ever been given:

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Microsoft FrontPage > Add/Remove > Yes

Yup, link still dead oracle.


Hey Steven you realize for us nonPC-based people the "Add/Remove" could mean add! :D

Buzz

Good point :D

updated version:

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Microsoft FrontPage > Add/Remove > Remove > Yes

Oracle,

When I clicked on your profile button the main page came up fine frames and all.

:confused:

Thanks for the link btw :)

Interesting, two sites on the same server, one works the other one says the host does not exist :eek:

[oracle128]

well guys, just make sure you're going to the link in my reply, and not MY URL, as registered here. The site I am talking about is different to my site.
it's URL, just to be sure, is http://www.emucities.net/leisure/fhbc/

oh, hang on. It's working now anyway. Thanks.

[Steven.Bentley]

Well now I can see the site I can't see any problems with it except for a few missing images.

It may have been a cache issue or in some way related to the downtime the server seems to have had.

Hi, oracle128!

I've visited the site that you are referring to, I've seen that it is not yet working.

Try this:
When I put the mouse on your HOME BUTTON I've seen that the link is referring to

file:///c:/My Documents/FHBC/web site/Home.htm

which is refering to your file in hard disk, not the one in your server. The path is incorrect. Change it to:

Home.htm(if it is in the same folder or http://www.emucities.net/leisure/fhbc/Home.htm ->to make sure, u just cant test preview it in your hard disk)Try to edit the source code of your left frame or try the relativity of the file when making a link.

Just make sure that the path is correct, it will work, I am not sure of the location of your Home.htm i just assume that it is on the same folder of your frame.htm

Hey! dont forget to target the right frame when making a link.

Good luck!
