Dreamweaver MX Frames Help - Page 2

I have everything set up the same (at least as far as I can see - spacing and all). I'm not really sure how the publish itself works (and how verizon works for that matter!) Hopefully it was just a novice mistake on my part!

try removing the '/' from before the host directory... verizon won't let me look at how they have you set this up unless i'm a customer.. how rude! ha ha.

Well that's the problem .. I can't seem to find a file directory or anything on Verizon's site either .. (but it's better than Angelfire and cheaper than getting a new host/website!)

if looking..... try netfirms.... they offer free personal accounts one nice neat little banner ad that doesn't take up the whole screen... AND you can pick your name and it goes BEFORE theirs in the web address...

that's where i have mine at...

netfirms.com is their site.. AND they have excellent customer service and even online support.. as in a chat window pops up and you can talk to their rep within a few minutes. i've been very impressed.

I might have to check that out ..I was using Verizon becuase I already pay for it!

lora_3677 · 16-Oct-2003, 12:28 PM **#21**

totally understand that... i spent 2 weeks trying to figure out how my ISP site worked... then figured that it wasn't worth it anyway because of the file size they allow...

read the dreamweaver info in the link i posted from macromedia.. it basically says play around with the slashes until it works because the directory your ISP gives you may or may not be the correct way to do it in dreamweaver... ha ha

alix03 · 16-Oct-2003, 12:31 PM **#22**

Yeah I tried that but it's still giving me issues ... hmm .. I'll figure something out i guess!

Well I know the files are uploading, it's just that / it's putting there that needs to be removed...I wish I knew how to get dreamweaver to change.

The other option is to change the / to /aremes/stretchedmedia/

lora_3677 · 16-Oct-2003, 12:40 PM **#24**

sorry.. if i was at home i would just look to see how i had my site set up and be able to tell you exaclt what was wrong...

lora_3677 · 16-Oct-2003, 12:40 PM **#25**

HEY... what is one of the file names that you are using in the frame???

are you sure they are uploading??

alix03 · 16-Oct-2003, 12:43 PM **#26**

ummm ... I'm pretty sure they are. Although I just looked at what I think is my file directory on Verizon and it doesn't look like it's updating any of my files (which could be part of the problem!)

alix03 · 16-Oct-2003, 12:43 PM **#27**

The index.html file for Stretched Media isn't showing up, but if you type in the rest of them like "indexbody.html" it will work ... that's what I don't understand!

Gibble · 16-Oct-2003, 12:51 PM **#28**

They are there see the source of
http://mysite.verizon.net/aremes/str...dia/index.html

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Stretched Media - Index</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<frameset rows="65,*,47" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
  <frame src="/logo.html" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
  <frameset rows="*" cols="134,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
    <frame src="/navbar.html" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
    <frame src="/indexbody.html" name="mainFrame">
  </frameset>
  <frame src="/webmaster.html" name="bottomFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
</frameset>
<noframes><body>

</body></noframes>
</html>

But these do exist... but it's using the / so the browser doesn't look in the right place for the file

Yeah those have been working since the beginning of this whole thing!

2 things

1) Is it possible for you to upload files to the Virizon server without using Dreamweaver
(in other words.... do you have WS_FTP or something like that)?

If so...
paste the source code into Notepad.
Remove the "/"s and save it (overwrite) the original HTML file.
Then upload that HTML file onto the server.
(DW is such a pain in the @ss with altering paths

)
If not....
just use the full path:
http://mysite.verizon.net/aremes/stretchedmedia/ + filename
(not even DW will alter that)

2) Gibby..... please edit (split) that DOCTYPE line in your post (it's causing this thread to horiz-scroll)
