Hi there,
I think I almost figured it out. The password login works. However, as soon as I click on the link on my homepage to login, all pages thereafter have the same url address mydomain/login.html
When I then click on the link Home (mydomain/index.html) which is not protected or any other page that is not protected it still says mydomain/login.html. It shows almost the right things, but because the loging.html has the frameset code in it. the homepage icon is now in a different lower position. IT basically shifts down after the first time clicking on login.html and thereafter.
my domain name is thisgang.com if you like to look at it. Still a work in progress, but just bought the software.
thanks for helping.

I think the page name does not change because of the frameset.
What happens to the links' positioning is not possible for anyone to see who hasn't access to the protected part. Maybe you could create a 'demo' user just temporarily, and perhaps remove any sensitive stuff from the protected pages, also temporarily? Then we could take a look at source codes and maybe spot something. Ha en riktig god dag!

Hi Inger,
I can try that later today, but I think you can still see what I am talking about.
go to www.thisgang.com then click on About and littleguy then on the login page click on ask us.
that's the page linked to the contact page, located at
www.thisgang.com/contact.html
You'll see that in the address line, it will not say contact.html, but rather login.html any link you click thereafter its the same. Also as mentioned the picture on the upper left goes below the horizontal line because of the frameset.

Ok I set up a demo page, which explains the issue I am having once you log in as well,
go to www.thisgang.com (notice that the logo image aligns with the horizontal line which took me hours to do (at least in Firefox, IE is almost aligned)
then go to about->little guy
use user and pass: demo
see demo.html
address will display login.html and the frames are still active which cause the logo to be shifted passed the horizontal line.
thanks for looking into this.

Part of your alignment problem may be traceable to the way browsers handle quirks mode. IE in quirks mode is different than Firefox in quirks mode. The only way to get browsers to display almost the same is to be in standards mode for all the browsers.
Browsers use the doctype statement as a starting point for determining if they operate in standards mode. The W3C standards website has a list of acceptable DTDs at http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html where you can copy and paste what you need. The DTD is case specific, so a copy and paste is the best solution.
While this may not fix everything, it will start the solution by trying to get into standards mode. Once you get this done, try to validate your page at http://validator.w3.org/ and you will get a list of any errors that keep your site from validating. If you do not have a doctype the page will not validate, and the errors they report may be of little value.
Once you get Firefox and IE in standards mode, there are some things you can do to make IE corrections.
I did try to login using user and demo, but that did not work.
Hope this helps. Bill R.

wow, there are a lot of different file types, I suppose you wouldn't know what type mine is? I think I am using simple HTML but I don't know what version number.
Do you think that will solve the problem? I try it out as soon as I get some time and will post back here.

Paste this as the very first line in your html and you should be good to go.

Hi, so I did what you guys suggested, and my index.html file, the login1.html and demo.html file are all now valid documents. My login.html file didn't pass because it reported 15 errors that I don't understand, any ideas? Also none of this so far made any difference to my original problem!
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Hello there. I am having the same problem with my site - there is only one page that is password protected, but as soon as I log in, all of my pages show that one page's URL. Also, my titles stop working throughout the site after logging in.
Is there an alternate way to integrate the login script other than using frames?

Jen, as far as I know...no. That specific script's sole purpose is to check whether or not the page being loaded is within a frame. If it's not, it gets kicked back to the login page (or whatever URL was given in the script).
Whynot, when all future pages are loaded in a frame, they will not show up in the Address Bar above. My shameless plug: Lakeshore Insurance Services - http://lakeshoreis.com/
