Default So my site is in framesets

I'm not a very experienced webmaster. Mostly take a bought template and run with it. Been playing PM tag with Morgan and he told me it's not a good idea. I want to fix it.

So how do I go about fixing the frameset issue? Is it going to completely revamp the site?

Here's my site: http:// www.ejsmortgage .com

Thanks

Don't I feel like an ASS! I just realized your site isnt in a frameset at all. When I first viewed your code, all I saw was the header data (As all your other data is wayyyyyyyy down in the source, so I just assumed it was framed. After talking a closer look, it appears that the code is just very sloppy but not framed. Also I thought the bottom portion because of a static scroll bar was a footer frame, its not, your page is just not optimized for browser width.

My appologies, it appears you have less work then you think

I would try to clean up all the whitespace in your source so that it is not so confusing. And try to optimize the page for 800 * 600 or % width, but as for framesets this is not the issue I though it was

DOH!

Just open up your page in html view (Are you using dw?) even notepad will do, and delete all the whitespace in between your code. As for the width issue, I would have to look deeper into it to figure out what is causing the stretching.

I will do that asap.

Any idea of where I should look for the pagewidth issue? I may be able to figure out by trial and error.

well it looks like at a lot of your widths are defined as 100% which is fine, but if you have widths inside a 100% width table that is bigger than 100% for instance (Maybe a combination of cells) then it would stretch the frame.

Try editing this area for starters

<td width="825" ALIGN="CENTER" VALIGN="TOP">







<!-- START CONTENT TABLE -->
<!-- CONTENT TABLE -->
<div align="left">
<TABLE cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="705">

Oh and your logo.bmp is 1379x97 which is causing the largest issue...try making it no larger than 800x97 and lay it over a background color that matches in the case of a larger desktop area
