Steve,
I meant to get back to you earlier but got tied up with other things. I'll
try to answer all points in your last 3 posts but maybe some of the detail
will have to come later as it is getting close to TV time and then dinner
here in OZ.
Trevor: Thanks for the reply. How are things in Australia??
Great. Here in Canberra, it is 31 degreee (Celsius) with clear blue skies,
but we are getting evening thunderstorms to help our drought parched land.
I looked in the code and could not find the word "frame" anywhere,
and I never intentionally put one in there.
Interesting. I thought that you wouldn't have done it intentionally or you
would remember.
Here is the top level page

The reason I was avoiding FP Extension is that FP seemed to corrupt
some of the links and so I had to erase everything and start over and
upload with FTP then it worked ok. Since I don't have an
understanding of exactly what the FP Ext's are doing, it makes it
impossible for me to troubleshoot.
OK you can use FTP quite successfully IF your site doesn't use FP
Extensions. I haven't yet found the post I wanted which lists all the
statements that uses FPSE. (I haven't looked in fact - as I said, I got
sidetracked. Part of that sidetrack was a visit to the Australian National
Gallery to see an exhibition of Egypt Treasures from the Louvre - great
stuff.)
Trevor: >>Did you use any other software at some stage?
I note that the frames are in fact on a different website to the home
page.<<
No. However the restabs site is temporarly housed in a subdirectory of
another site (www . highfalutinfilms . com / restabs) {spaces are to
foil spam bots} while I test it. Eventually it will go on it's own
hosting site. Could that be causing a frame?
I think that this could be the cause of the problem. But nonetheless, it is
not necessary to use frames while testing. You should be able to get it
working OK on the temporary site, and then transfer the lot later.
The site works ok, it's just those pesky lines at the bottom are odd.
Yes, but it is a good idea to get rid of them especially when the cause is
fremes within frames within frames - each level of nesting causes another
line.
maybe i'm wrong, but it appears the frame code is being inserted by
the server, since there is no reference to frames within the htm
files i uploaded.
Yes, it must be. I wonder how though. A simple upload, especially with FTP,
should load the file exactly as you have it on hard disk. If you have no
frames, then how do the frames get there. The code must be intercepted by
the server somehow
i tried moving the files to the root directory but that didn't help.
when i click View Source in IE i see the frame code but not the
original htm code.
Ah you see the frame code as do I.
I am beginning to think that if the code is changed by the web server, then
there is nothing to be done
I can post the code as it should be, but maybe you know what it should be
like already.
Just so that we are on the same path, would you post a few of the pages back
to this newsgroup. (Just cut and paste the code.). They aren't very large,
so maybe one or two pages would do.
If your pages are OK, then it could be time to give up until the web site
gives you back access to the site you want to use, not the temporary one.
Or did I get it wrong? Are you uploading the site to the temporary one (www
.. highfalutinfilms . com / restabs) by your own specific action, or is the
web server for www . restabs . com doing this for you ?
