Hi there, I joined this forum as I needed help or advice regarding my issue I have, I cant get my head round it but here is the problem which seems simple enough

I run a gaming clan for a combat flight sim falcon 4 allied force,

anyhow I created them a website using a free template I got, one of the clannies got a domain 414dragons.com and he only got the domain not any hosting platfrom.

so I am hosting a website for the clan, and we have the domain pointing at the website, the website I created I had to put into a folder, as the root is used for another site.

so www.414dragons.com points to www.purelypcs.co.uk/f16/index.html

what we want is the URL to remain www.414dragons.com not www.purelypcs.co.uk/f16/index.html

I heard that frames do the job but I just cant get my head round it

can anyone offer me any help on this please

Here is a frameset simple page with a hidden frame:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="http://www.purelypcs.co.uk/f16/index.html" name="mainFrame" id="mainFrame" />
  <frame src="hiddenpagethatisnotdisplayed.html" name="bottomFrame" scrolling="No" noresize="noresize" id="bottomFrame" />
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

Here is a simple frameset with one frame:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<frameset frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="http://www.purelypcs.co.uk/f16/index.html" name="mainFrame" id="mainFrame" />
<noframes>
<body>
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

thanks for the frames but where do I put them? do I create a seperate index.html file?

what do I need to do to cover up the existing url with www.414dragons.com using the frames you gave me

as is it says frame src=www.purelypcs.co.uk/f16/index.html
frame src hiddenpagethatisnotdisplayed.html

so do I just copy and paste it into my current html or create a new one and refer it back to index2 or do I need to enter the domain name in www.414dragons.com into 1 of the frame src?

sorry but like I said I dont have much clue about frames

You create the frames wherever the domain is hosted, and you should be allowed to choose the page title and meta description for the frameset. As you might imagine, that can be a bit limiting. Still, if you got the domain through GoDaddy ( half the internet seems to ) they have an online tool to do just that.

It's late, and I've put too much work into html lately, so I can't remember the details of the "better" way to do it, but will get back to you in the morning.

right ok, well my domain is not hosted through godaddy, I will try and put the frames in my current html to see what happens, I created another html file and it did'nt do anything, I will just try to experiment and see if I can sort it, thanks for your help

Who is your domain registar, and your web hosting company. ecause depending on your domain registrar and your web based control panel you can do all of this in there.

my hosting company is a small company in england they dont have a contrl panel as such, anyhow I tried putting frames into my existing html and the page wont load, I also tried to create index.html with the frames and reffered it to index2.html where the page is, btw my site is a flash site.

no-ip.com can do it with frames I just cant for some reason, it either reloads a million times, or I get a white screen with nothing or it says url cant be found.

I dont know what I am doing wrong as I put the frames exactly between the head and the body copy and paste etc
