Hi Gordon:
the frame might actually have nothing to do with your site but rather be
to do with the provider of your domaine.
Where is your site hosted and how did you purchase your domaine?
some domain name providers, particularly at the budget end don't
actually hoste your site at the domain you have purchased but ratehr
redirect the user friendly domain to the less user friendly actual
location of the pages. this they do by delivering your page to the
domaine URL inside a frame.
try viewing your pages on your pc rather than via the Web - if they are
frame free here then this is what's going on.

Subject: [access-uk] Using Accessible Web Publishing Packages
Hi
First of all please accept my apologies for cross posting - I'm just not
sure which site can help so in a desperate attempt to get some
information I'm hopefully not going to annoy too many.
I recently had my website redesigned to let the spiders get access. Up
till then I had used MS Front Page and had it sited on a Front Page
Server to cope with the extensions. The person I got to rewrite it did
so in something called Fusion and created a non frames website. (He had
said that for the spiders to access a site it was much better to use a
non framed site, so this is what he made.)
I created my first site in Front Page by using the Wizard and reading
the manual. This got me through. However when I upload the new site lo
and behold it puts a single frame round the page thus rendering it
inaccessible to the spiders. I do not unfortunately know how to make a
non-framed page in Front Page and am looking for advice, either on how
to do it in Front Page (my preferrd solution if possible) or to suggest
a good feature packed alternative program which would let me access and
alter the site he's made and upload it as a non framed entity.
Your experience is vital here as access is a big issue. I'm probably too
lazy to get into html programming at present (busy too) so obviously an
easier method with useful features would be good. Having taken time on
Front Page and bought the 2003 version I would like to be able to use it
but I'm prepared to move if necessary.
(By tthe way, I have found out since that tags can be put into a framed
page header to be accessed by the spiders, but I've also heard that I'm
better using my new non framed site if possible.) Has anyone seen the
Serif Web Creation and Publishing package - it sounds good, but probably
is not accessible. Anyone know?
Over to you.
