Index page question

Mary Ann

I apologize for the delayed response.

The problem is, when a potential customer searches on Google, Yahoo or where
ever and type in beach cart for example....sometimes
www.beachtimesproducts.com comes up but a lot of the time just the frame
comes up when they click on the link that's offered in the search. Before I
messed with it that was not the case, so I did something wrong and I don't
know what or how to fix it.

Thanks, Mary Ann

and the page it displays in the frame is
http://www.beachtimeproducts.com/index.html
( that's the lower case L and frame.htm lframe.htm )
Which is backwards.

However, it appears that the original author set up the server to display
lframe.htm as the default page, which is the reason it opens when you click
http://www.beachtimeproducts.com/

Kind of a unique way of doing things, and also ensures that you'd have
problems if you tried to edit your self.

How exactly do you want to change it. I ask because what you want to do
depends on how someone replies.

As for the urls of the pages displayed in the frame not showing in the
browser address bar, that's normal for pages displayed in a frame page.

frames bad
worse is your secure order form which is not unless you find the link at
the bottom and use "that" secure order form instead.

Not sure what you mean by "frames bad" and I just did some work on the secure
oredr form but not exactly sure what you meant by that either.

You shouldn't use frames unless absolutely necessary and you are prepared to
solve problems associated with them - frames bad.

Your secure order form isn't...well, one might be but the initial one that
clients see...i don't t hink is.

Thank you for your reply. I didn't make that frame, as stated earlier someone
else made that and I was trying to remove it but did something wrong and this
is why I'm having trouble and seeking help here.

I see what your saying about the secure form but the hyperlink address is
the same for all of them and we only have one form, so I don't know what the
problem is there either.

I was going to check, but I get a Page-Not-Found for that URL.

My understanding is that you can send the same form over a secure
connection, or over an ordinary connection, depending upon what URL you use:
http:// or https:// (assuming your host has the secure server set up for
your site).

I'm no expert on this, but thought that might be a puzzle piece, anyway.

Thank you, I figured it all out and will be fixing. I needed to change the
form to open in a new window, just in case anyone else has this problem.
