Hi Adrian
Thanks for replying.
My site is hosted on Plus net's servers. I purchased my stuff through Plus net
and Nominet.
I'm not sure I'm giving you the info you need. When you say try to load it into
my pc rather than the web do you mean into Front Page or somewhere else.
Sorry for my ignorance.
Gordon

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.
