As you may have discovered, using frames or an iframe tag at Rootsweb means that the advertising banner gets repeated at the top of each frame/iframe, so this is evidently one way round that problem.
I hadn't used frames on this site but I found that using Div's with absolute (and presumably relative) positioning created havoc with the adverts appearing in odd places. To overcome this problem I have reverted to using tables while studying other possibilities.
I have corrected the \ / error, mia culpa but IE corrects the error while FF renders it 'as is' which is why I had missed it. If you refresh my index on your computer it should now work fine, thanks.
next time I do a major revamp, rather than straight away
It may be beneficial to create a "menu" page, just the bare bones without any opening or closing headers/html/body tags and make a couple of SSI ready pages to see how it goes. Then if all is well you could complete the current redesign with SSI and even copy the "include code" over your existing code in all the finished pages.
If you wish to experiment on your pc before uploading to Rootsweb then you will need to install Xampp on your computer:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.htmlYou install it to C: so it becomes C:\xampp.....
You then navigate to each page you create under the sub folder:
C:\xampp\htdocs....
as if you are going onto the WWW and you will have something like:
http://localhost/Lorna/index.html in your browser, the Lorna here being a sub-folder under htdocs.
I use HTML-Kit -
http://www.chami.com/html-kit/ to edit my pages and this programme has a button to preview in the browser.
