got a slight problem with my domain. I bought a domain name with bravehost, and people can log onto that domain, except whenever the page changes the name is exactly the same. for example they should go to a page called www.video-fx-universe.com/pictures.html even though they arew on the pictures page it still says www.video-fx-universe.com and if i refresh it always comes back to the title page. How can i sort this problem out?
it is because you are using frames (iframes to be more precise). in that case, yes, the name of the main page will remain in the address field because that "page" is not changing, only the contents within the frame area changes.
when you refresh, it will go back to the start page because that is the page being displayed in the address bar. again, it is the iframe effect.
you'd have to create all new pages. each page will need the full layout as the main page, just change the contents in the middle on each page to suit its subject.
if you want to stick with iframes, then you are stuck with the address problem.
and also what i planned to show you didn't work. I was expecting it to paste the code of my site but it just pasted the visual part instead.
I really don't want to sound stupid here, but you really need to explain step by step what I need to do and what to change because I just don't follow what you mean, partial answers dont help and i have no idea about iframes or how to sort them out
Dave, it looks like you have domain masking turned on. It looks you have your domain pointed to bravenet subdomain and then you turn on domain masking to hide the real URL. You can change the settings in the domain tab, Click domains and then 'Setup domain redirection' and you can change your settings.
yes I have done that and nothing has changed. I'm kind of getting annoyed about this now. Here is what I have done
1. in the domains section. I clicked on setup domain redirection.
2. I clicked on Redirect a domain NOT Redirect subdomain
3. In this section it has the drop down selection which only says "Select a domain www.video-fx-universe.com"
Below this is a panel that says "redirect to (url) and i typed in "www.video-fx-universe.bravehost.com" I then ticked the "Domain masking" Button to "Enable"
So is this right and if so why am i still having the same problem
