My page is not loading the header as well. If you look at the source code there's only one set of header info. When I look at your source code there's 4. If your inspecting using your console then your looking through the iframe at the other page.It's kinda like looking through a window at it raining outside. You can see the rain but you don't get wet.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I'm not trolling... but I am going to persist for the sake of clarity and understanding... :) I've added the comment tags below to make sure it wouldn't load anything. All those additional heads you see in my page are within the divs just like yours.
This code is on your page. The code that loads the iframe.
<!--
<div class="Object2141"><iframe src="http://ericrohloff.com/coffeecup/whosonline/index.html" width="168" height="auto" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"> <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
-->
The following code is the source code when it is displayed. Notice the doc type and then the head tags. Just because you didn't have anything in there doesn't mean it didn't load it. With VSD, there is default body style in the header, and it can't be deleted from within the program. I don't mind being wrong but I don't think I am this time...

I removed all the body styles from my index.php so now I'm not getting any conflicts with VSD at all. So... I think it works, until someone can show it broken in a browser. Now the text shadow glitch is a VSD thing. It's that way in preview and in the standalone HTML. I've got that workaround. Maybe it's a jpeg thing as well. I can try other image formats. It's def not a deal breaker, so I'm not overly worried. I think I'm good to go. Do you still believe I'm going to run into problems down the road with this scheme? :cool:

Run your page through the WC3 validation to see how it does. If it passes there then Google will like it also.

Shows a bunch of errors... despite the fact it sure looks OK... :lol:
OK... I need to test with iframes to see if that DOES make a difference. And if not, then the problem does lie with figuring out a way to include (either with PHP or iframes) just the html body and nothing else, because I can't be editing the VSD code,
I'd like to figure out that code I sent you awhile back, but I don't know what variables to substitute.
Some of the errors might also be in my php index file... I am using an older version of Dreamweaver and the doctype may be out of date or something. So I've got a bit of work to do. But I still like my plan..... Thanks.

BTW... your site shows up 21 errors and 5 warnings ! :lol:
Mine had 29, so I win !

True. Then here's the last two things that someone could help me with... then I'll go away for awhile. (well, not really)
1) The text shadow tearing in VSD.

2) And figuring out the what variables I need to change to get this code to work on my site:

Or some other code that will either php include only the body tags or php exclude everything outside the body tags.

Ok I don't want to preach and not practice so I fixed all but 4 errors and those are coming from the JQuery slicing. I'll have to see if there's a work around for that as there's no way for me to just fix it because it JQuery rendering the slider.

Lets take a look at your problems.:)
Whats text shadow tearing?

It's been on that homepage. I'm working on some experiments so the header may come and go.....
http://giantgreenpods.com/vsd_tests/Tis … y_website/
This is a link to the page unaltered (like all the includes I'm trying to do) right out of VSD:
http://giantgreenpods.com/vsd_tests/Tis … /home.html

I think that jquery business is not what I want. I think the solution is much simpler... but only if involves not editing the VSD code in another editor.

That text glitching the image is an issue that happens when you use advanced text. Try using regular text or not placing the text over the image.

Well duh... I know there's not a problem if I don't use shadow. :lol: That's like the doc telling me, well, if it hurts when you do that, then don't do that ! :rolleyes:
I can just use the workaround when I desire that effect -which I'm sure won't be all the time. For some reason, applying a little bit of glow along with the shadow fixes the glitch, so it's an easy workaround. I realize that VSD has a graphics generator built in that creates a bitmap copy of the original image merged with the text whenever you use shadows.

I'm searching for that elusive PHP option to exclude outside the body. There must be an easier solution or something that I'm doing wrong because otherwise, I would think there would be more folks looking for an answer. Although, I am trying to fix the problem on the "including" document side and not on the "included" document side...
