Website Help
I work as a client liaison for a gourmet cheese wholesaler, and while I know little about coding I am much more aware of it than my boss is.
I wasn't told about this problem until a day or two later, thus I don't really have much information about what's causing it or when exactly it began.

Basically the issue is that the website, when opened, now spams the header 4-6 times instead of the pertinent information.
The website is here: http://www.aniata.com and the sections affected are 'Cheese List' and 'What's Hot'.

Armed with my very basic and paltry HTML knowledge I opened the site in Frontpage and looked to see if I could find anything glaringly wrong. After two days of fiddling with this site I have managed to 'fix' the main page and the 'Foodservice' page. I say 'fix' because I honestly don't know what I did to render these sites correct, thus I cannot duplicate my results.

I have tried manipulating the code some, but have found that even when the page seems correct in Frontpage it remains incorrect on the web after being published. Yes, I did refresh.

From what I see on the site how, the replicated header information is the ONLY content on the page, other than the footer. Looking at the HTML source, I don't even seen any pertinent information that is supposed to be displayed after the header (that might be getting covered up or something).

Without knowing any more than what I've seen in the HTML source, I would suspect a problem with FrontPage generating the HTML. Are you using some kind of template or something?

Peace...

Hi
I have viewed the source on the cheese list page and it has the same code 4 times giving you the multiple headers

I am on my way out so not much time, but I cut out roughly what code you dont need and it leaves this

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Cheese List</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="cypress 011, cypress 0011">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tb">

Which is a single logo etc which is what you want ?

You basically use the same code but name it as per page, cheese list, whats hot etc etc.

PS I think frontpage is the pits IMO

Yeah you've got the code replicated five times in the HTML file. I'd recommend NOT using Front Page and using something like Dreamweaver or notepad is just as good.

That website needs a redesign from scratch.

Thank You
I had to go out of town for a week; sorry for not responding sooner.

Thank you for all your help so far -- I have only looked at this website once or twice before, and I have no idea who designed it in the first place. I have a feeling that given enough time and a couple of books I could probably do better myself, which is now my endeavor.

I am still muddling through the code and am trying not to use FrontPage; I know that I won't truly understand this unless I can hammer it out in Notepad or something. My goal is to actually become literate, and not have to rely on fumbling and rifling through books/websites/other people's heads. Hopefully I can talk my boss into Dreamweaver instead.

I will let you know about my progress... thank you again.

Improvement
Although I am still using Frontpage at the moment, Dreamweaver looms in the future, according to my boss.

As you can see by following this link, the website is improving under my slow but steady work. As soon as I become skilled enough to use Flash it will improve even more.

For some reason I am having an issue (one that, of course, is not visible to me in Frontpage) with the Contact page on the new site; the Navigation bar will not stay where I tell it to, and I cannot figure out why.

If anyone has any insights I would be grateful.

You should start testing your site in browsers other than IE.

Attached is a screenshot of your site in IE 6 9Maxthon 2.0.8) and Firefox 2.0.0.11, both on Windows XP.

Peace...

Hello!

I see you're using FP which is what I used to use and am now on Expression Web which is great (the next one up from FP).

Test out your website in Firefox as more and more people are turning to Firefox than IE. I have found that creating invisible tables on your pages are the best option to make the page look good in all browsers and resolutions.

I have created one table with two columns on my site here, and am trying to improve the site everyday :O (as in making it accesible for everyone)

You know, I use Firefox exclusively at home (haven't talked my boss into it yet -- I think I might just ninja-install) and it really should've dawned on me to check that out.

Thanks again!

My Firefox screenshot shows how it renders in Opera as well (Opera 9.50b2 at least). You really should try your site in Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Safari (which runs on Windows now) in addition to IE.

Peace...
