The code you have in that gbook.html is just the following:
That isn't going to display anything. You need to place the code that Bravenet provides in their instructions, not that "a" tag.
I think you are getting confused about the use of frames in a "free account". The problem you are thinking about would, as far as I know, occur on a site hosted for free on Bravehost.com, and that is not what you are doing. You apparently have an account with a free Bravenet guestbook. When you get the guestbook to display, you will see the advertising. You may decide it's worth it to pay to remove those ads, but you can make that decision after you get the correct code in there so the guestbook can show up.
Let me correct what I said. I was correct when I said that the code you have now will not display your guestbook in your frame. It has been a while since I used a Bravenet guestbook, and I forgot what their instructions are like.
I think what you need to do is, in the page with the frameset, replace this code:
with the following:
I'm not 100%-sure about the noresize, but that's what you have now, and I'll let you decide if it does what you want.
Cathy, you have a very attractive and well-designed site. Your site is not a bravenet free site, so the frames issue raised by the last two responders is irrelevant. You may want to try going to the Bravenet knowledge base and query "frames", I see that there are several (6) entries which may answer your question.
Incidently, in the three years I've been associated with Bravenet, I've never seen a single official statement from Bravenet forbidding the use of frames on a free website. But I dont use frames or free websites, so I may have missed something.
Cathy has made the change I suggested (I forgot to mention, that gbook.html page should be deleted), so now her guestbook is appearing when people visit her Guestbook page:
Now some images she is trying to bring in to the guestbook page are not appearing, because there is no "images" subdirectory within the guestbook. I think once she removes those img tags, everything should be fine.
The images at the top are not needed, because they already appear in the top (navigation) frame. And the images at the bottom are not needed, because they appear in the bottom frame.
so if she wants to put any images on her guestbook design
then she needs to login in her registered webtools section click the guestbook link then go to the look and feel section and design her guestbook the way she likes
any images she uses need to be loaded to her file manager area for her site and she just puts the link to a guestbook header if she wants to design one or something there it asks for in the look and feel area then she hits save and her changes should take place
