Drew,

>I looked into this a bit further, and found that the .url files are being
stored with extra info, to record what 'frame' was supposed to be what.  How
did you set that?

I have no idea.  One of the tools that I used to create this stuff must have
done it?  I am not too savvy re the web.  I am trying to learn Dreamweaver
but it has a fairly steep learning curve.  Mostly I press buttons till it
works.  ;-)

>Second, this is just an FYI, when you slide the main page, the background
slides with it.  You can 'fix' that.  With a Fixed background (you can 'fix'
anything), the background will remain solid, and only the page's content
will slide.

And how do I do that.  I was unable to find anything (property) of the page
itself that "fixed" the background.

Two comments.

First, about the frames page.  On of our website 'drafts' was set with
frames (header, TOC, and main).  One issue we had, was that when you
bookmarked a page, and returned to the bookmark, it would return you to the
home page, not the page you bookmarked.  That is because it was using the
frames pages' default page for each frame.  On your site, it seems to
remember (except for your top bottun...C2DbReferences...that bookmarks back
to the home page, not the C2DbReferences.)  I looked into this a bit
further, and found that the .url files are being stored with extra info, to
record what 'frame' was supposed to be what.  How did you set that?

Second, this is just an FYI, when you slide the main page, the background
slides with it.  You can 'fix' that.  With a Fixed background (you can 'fix'
anything), the background will remain solid, and only the page's content
will slide.  Of course it looks good as is.

Your site does look pretty nice.

Drew

Could I persuade a couple of people to go look at my web page and let me
know if you have any problems viewing the content.  I am working on a new
look.  Users with non-MS browsers would be good as well.

Thanks,
