Re: Remove my pages from history

I'm not sure the "history" has anything to do with this problem and I don't think that's your only issue to be concerned about.

First thing is to make sure your 'target' is taking the user back to the "main" frame, otherwise it will break out of the frames and display the page in a new window, or within the same window but at 'full page' rather than inside the frameset. Check all your links for the 'target' attribute - this is set within the hyperlinks dialogue.

Secondly, frames can cause problems especially with search engines which may not index the actual 'frameset' page - the frameset page is what causes the content to be loaded with in the frames - they don't really contain text content for the search engines to index. Therefore there's nothing to search on and it won't show up in results. Only the actual content pages would and if the user clicks on one link in the results, that would load the page but without your navigation structure.

There's no frameset page at www.theremote.ca as you have given to demonstrate the issue.......can you give us a working page link with your frames?

Note that search engines do not rely solely on keyword and description meta tags, so even if you put these meta tags into the frameset / index.html file the search engine ranking would more than likely be further down the list of results than at #1.

I am making a site called theremote.ca

The question I have is this.

When a user visits my site evrything is done from the main page and the
pages they visit change through frames.
They never actually leave the index page.


The problem I am having is the history. It is showing all pages they visited
with me and of course if they choose to click one of them it will not take
them back to index, it will take them directly to that page that should be
appearing within the frame on the index page.

How do I adjust these pages so they will either show up in history only as
theremote.ca or even better is there a way to make them NOT add themselves to
the users browser history at all.

Desperate in ottawa.
