Hi all, sorry for not posting back but I do now have the problem licked. It
was what is called in the trade as a PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair
And Keyboard) it had been mentioned but it took me ages to realise what
Andrew Murray was saying being a thick Goldings boy.

I renamed the frame from main.htm to home_page and the problem has gone.

With regards to using frames, like I have said without using Java script I
see no way of keeping the top banner and side banner in view at all times for
ease of use as you may appreciate some of the old boys are quite old and some
have got second hand computers running windows 95 and as they scroll down the
links disappear.

I have just completed another web site for my sister www.gitehols.co.uk and
yes I have used frames again, but I will look into using a style sheet, but
she likes the header and side banner staying in view.

I don’t mind any constructive criticism. Cheers all

Frank
