Address Bar Display - 9/17/2005 4:58:38   
Hello

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this, but at the moment my website always displays www.urbanconcertreviews.co.uk in the address bar, no matter what page i am on, how can i make it display www.urbanconcertreviews.co.uk/news when i am on my news page? and so on for my other pages.

Thanks

Adam

Hi Adam, and welcome to OF! :)

The reason you only get the domain name in the address bar, no matter what page you're on, is because you're using frames. Becuase the 'page' you see's infact made up of a number of frames, there's no one page name to display in the address bar, as there is in a standard page.

You're using a pretty simple layout anyway, so there isn't much to be gained by using frames. If it's important that an individual page is displayed in the address bar, you'll need to switch to a plain html page for each page and not use frames. The standard content you've got on each page is only your nav, so it wouldn't take much work to simply copy and paste that to each new page.

Just quickly on a quick glance (really must get on and get some work done on my own site), my main comment would be to standardise the font across the site. You've a number of different fonts going on there and it does tend to help sites hang together better if you use the same font style on all the pages.

The nav tabs are very pixellated on the bit on the top where they slope down. Making them smaller may help that, or you could redo them using anti-aliasing.

You've also got some broken nav. The news, links and contact links are coming up with a 404 error.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, the errors should be fixed now.

I will adjust the points mentioned and thanks again for taking time out to have a look at my site.
