Page changes OK but address in browser doesn't

[Fred the Ted]

Could someone please take a look at
http://www.worldwide-family-hotels.co.uk/tenerife.htm and tell me what I'm
doing wrong. If you clickk on any of the More>>> links atfer the hotel
description you will notice the the page changes ok BUT the address in the
browser window remains the same. I've never seen this before and I'm not sure
what I've done different. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will
see a box of links "Family friendly holidays & accommodation in:" and I've
tried diferent ways of setting up the link (see Ibiza and the Majorca) but it
makes no difference. I view using Outlook Express 6 and create in FP 2002.
Any ideas?

Frames work this way - one reason to not use them. The address in the
browser window is for the frameset page, not the content page which
comes from another domain (.com as opposed to .co.uk) and may be blocked
by security settings in some browsers.

Thanks Ronx. That explains a lot. Can you tell me the best way to produce
this type of page as a non-frame page. Is this easy and are there any
tutorials for novices like me?

Since you appear to own both domains, the easiest way would be to point
the nameservers for
http://www.worldwide-family-hotels.co.uk to
http://www.worldwide-family-hotels.com
Then both URLs will open the same web site. Ask your domain registrar
and web host if this can be done and the costs (a reputable registrar
should not charge a fee for changing nameservers, but some hosts may
charge extra for multiple domains on one web package).

The second solution is to copy the .com site to the .co.uk site. Search
engines may penalise for duplicated content.

Third, use a page on the .co.uk site that relocates to the .com,
preferably using a 301 redirect. Search Engines will (eventually)
ignore .co.uk site, but there should not be any penalties involved.

Apart from above, frames are the only answer.
