Viewing Source Code

D

Don

I am writing a commercial web site using Frontpage 2002 with my shopping cart
features set up through bCentral Commerce Manager.

While doing my own search engine optimization I published my site from
Frontpage and went into the web site to view the source code. What appeared
was rudimentary at best, very little code and no meta tags.

What is the problem, do I have some settings incorrect. I am using a theme
and the only thing I am addding to the HTML section is Meta Tags and Lines.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you using frames??
If so are you checking the source of the main frame, or the page that the frame displays??

No, I am not using frames. I started using them and eliminated that process.
Looking at Frontpage at the bottom toolbar there is tab that say's "Frames
Page HTML." Is this left over from my previous try?

Part of the code for this page states, <frameset rows="*">
<frame name="main" src="HomePageContent.htm" target="_self"
scrolling="auto">
<noframes>
<body>

<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

My web site is, www.glasscottage.net.

Thanks Steve.

If you are seeing the frame tab, then the page is a frameset.

Hi,
You've got 2 totally different pages going here.
http://www.glasscottage.net/index.htm (which comes up when you type
www.glasscottage.net) is a a frameset which is just calling one page
http://www.glasscottage.net/HomePageContent.htm

I also found http://www.glasscottage.net/index.html which I think is the
page you probably want for your home page. Just rename index.html to
index.htm then you'll get the new page (blue and purple design) when you
type www.glasscottage.net

Certainly if you're concerned with SEO you need to go to a non-frame page -
ie the html design

So back to my orginal question, is the frameset the reason I cannot see my
code at the web? Also, does this mean when I place meta-names in my code they
will not be distributed to search engines?

Here's what you need to know: Does it work? Do the web pages look right?

God forbid if Word should ever allow people to see and tweak the markup that
IT uses!
