Center frame & custom file/page names..?

[riffster]

Hello all,

I'm hoping that someone else here has the same issue. In version 7 if I try to center the page and include custom file names ( i.e. www.home.com/aboutus instead of www.home001.com ) I'm using rollovers, so I need the site to by dynamic. Does anyone know the way around this issue..? thanks...

You can still link to other page names but when you center a site you are using frames. When you create a frames site, only the primary page, such as www.mywebsite.com is going to appear. If you remove the centering frame you would see the other page address if you move through the site. I hope this is what you were referring to.

Hmm, ok I think I understand your answer, but when I use xhtml to generate and publish my site it seems to work fine. Example: if I have an off site link pointing back to a page in my website - http://www.mysite/newproduct and if I generate the site Dynamically (centered page ), when the user clicks on the link ( file name ) the page doesn't load centered? The page will only load centered if the link is something like: http://www.mysite.com/page001 ( or something, can't remember exactly ) and the name at the top of the browser is the same for every page. The only way that I can seem to publish a dynamic website with file names in-tact, is to use "standard page" frame set? Am I missing something? Please say yes, lol...

And I also get the scroll bar up against the right side of my pages, in the middle of the monitor? So I know that I must be doing something wrong, but what..?

Thanks,
Dan

If you are setup with a centering site, you have a frame. If you link to a full URL you are asking the browser to leave the frame to access this URL, as in http://www.mysite/newproduct.htm

Best solution would be to link by using the link dialog option of 'page by title' which will create the link for you to stay in the frame.

The problem of the page file names not appearing in the browser address bar is going to happen on any site, any browser, as long as you use a frame. This is universal to any website development software. Key is, if you use a main page frame, the page file names will not show in the browser address bar. This makes bookmarking by users, etc., very awkward. For this reason and others, many web developers are moving away from using frames for their websites.

You say that Web easy uses Frames to center the page and that for some reason this means that the pages cannot have thier proper filename displayed in the url window of the browser.
However, I believe that web easy uses CSS to center the page and not frames. Am I missing something?
Also you say that any website software that centers a page is using frames and will have the same problem. However, my wife uses Yahoo Site Builder for her website and her pages are centered and have the proper filenames displayed with no problem. Why can't web easy do this too? Also, she is able to have each page be as long as she needs them without affected the other pages on her site. Can we have a clear consice explaination how to fix these issues and perhaps a commitment to fixing web easy pro and providing us with an update?

I look forward to your response,
