please keep the flaming to a minimum (a bucket of water is next to me)
but I have a question someone here might be able to explain in basic
terms for a dunce like me.
I helped a friend put together a website that uses his domain name and
url directs to my server. It has a (sorry) flash intro page that
continues to his main page. When I click on a navigation button, the
address reverts back to my webpage address. Without using shitty frames
design, how can i keep the navigated links keep the original address?
I'm using frontpage. Here's the website:

thanks in advance.

ps. I know the best way to do this would be to have him pay for his own
web host service, but blood from a stone comes to mind when mentioned.

thanks,
wall

No flaming, but:

Do /not/ play your music right through mine. Look at my sig. You think
I listen to that because I like to hear some other music right through
it? You didn't even provide a button where I could turn it off. If you
want to provide background music, place a button with the text "for
background music during your visit, please click here".

You shouldn't want to. What if your friend wants to show a certain
page of his site to his Mum? Tell her to type this, then click that,
then click that link, and then that link.... "what are you seeing Mum?
no no, you clicked one too many now. Go back." ;-)

If your friend wants that domainname in every window, he should get
proper hosting. Doesn't have to cost the world, you can get good
hosting for 1 USD per month. That way you don't have to use frames,
and you get the best of both: the domain name doesn't go away, but the
pages are in the url too, so you can send people to a certain page
right away.

thanks Els, that was what i was think all along (sorry about the music,
i thought the flash intro warning would have helped)
I'll just leave well enuf alone, just thought there was a way to simply
hide all that info (without frames). Making his Mum search like
squirrel would be the price to pay for being cheap!
Thanks again,
wall

Well, I did click 'skip intro', but that opened a new tab, and the
music kept playing from the intro.
