Sending customers a link to a part of our web. Having problems help!!

[Michael Hemphill]

We are wanting to send our customers a link to the
following section of our site.

http://www.paintingandwaterpoofing.com/services.htm

You'll notice that the logo banner and top frame wont
display when a customer is sent the above link directly
to this page.

Is there anyway to send them a link which correctly
navigates to the services.htm section and keeps the upper
frame with logo and buttons.

Thanks Michael

Is this a new domain? My machine couldn't find it. How about posting the
public IP address?

Here's a simple way to do that -

Create a NEW FRAMESET that contains exactly that frame with the navigation
frame. That frameset will not be linked to from any other page in your
site, but it WILL allow you to give someone a link to it and not give you
the bare content page. If you have several pages like this, you could
create a separate frameset for each.

This is the tip of the "frameset hell" iceberg (an oxymoron, so to speak!).
It's one of the many reasons that frames are usually *not* the right layout
choice simply because of all the nasty and sometimes tedious workarounds you
must implement to get around problems such as this....

I'm sorry I dont have acces to the public Ip at this
time. I've posted the address again below.

That is the drawback of using frames.

I'm using the frame pages becuase i hate having to have
my logo top banner re-load at every page. Is there
anyway outside of a frame page to do this.

Sure. If your pages are svelte (50K or less), you will never see any new
images loading because they will come in so quickly. In addition, once a
graphic has been fetched from the server, it will be cached in the local
browser cache, and reloaded from there. In this case you will never notice
it at all.

Take a look at my site and browse from page to page. Do you notice the page
refresh? If you do, is it distracting?
