HTML/Web Editor

OK. I've come to terms with most of SeaMonkey's quirks (although how it decides to insert line breaks in the source code is bizarre).

I have a new problem. The page I'm working on (mcdgc.org) was created (by someone else) using frames and CSS. After making many changes I thought I was rid of all remnants of frames, but apparently the page is (all of the pages are) still being displayed in a frame, indicated by the fact that the address in the address bar never changes (the back button always returns to the home page), and that occasionally upon right click I'll get to option to 'view frame source' or 'view page source'.

I've searched the web extensively and failed to find a solution to this problem, or at least a solution that I can comprehend. I guessing the frame is somehow tied to the CSS, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be just great?

Taking a look at the source to the front page, it's just a frame containing the content from http://mcdgc.cvillebicycling.com/ . That page works correctly -- clicking on links loads new pages with proper URLs and so on. If you can just replace the frame with the actual content you should be good to go. Heck, you could replace the front page with a redirect to that URL and it'd probably work fine.

How? I can't find the code that creates the frame. I've removed every obvious reference to frames in every page. Where is the frame coming from?

Search the entire codebase for "frameset". Somewhere you have a page that's making a frame. Maybe it's generated by some PHP (or whatever your backend scripting language is). But it's not the CSS; CSS modifies HTML but doesn't generate it.

Thanks for trying Derakon. I've no doubt your advice is correct but I don't have the skill set to follow up on it (I did try). It wasn't a complete loss though. By googling "remove frameset" I found a little javascript that I stuffed into index.htm, and that did the trick.
