First site, a few questions.

[wsmisch]

Hey everyone. This is my first website that is actually meant to be published. I have some HTML and DW knowledge, but have a few questions.

Firstly, Why is it that when I go to the site (wsmisch.com) it loads the directory, and not the index page?

Secondly, is there a way to have the nav bar and banner not reload on navigational clicks, but not have it in a frame that does not scroll with the rest of the page?

I currently have it set as two frames, but the top frame doesnt load properly. Any tips there? (based on the answer of question one.)

And lastly, I want the site to look like this (http://wsmisch.com/images/Mock_layout.png), and managed to make it look like this (http://wsmisch.com/images/layout_dw.png) in DW, but it loads like this (http://wsmisch.com/images/layout_ff.png) in Firefox, and like this (http://wsmisch.com/images/layout_ie.png) in IE. Can anyone help me get this to look like I want in both browsers?

I know these are probably some broad basic questions, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think I have the answer to your first question:

1. Try changing the capitalization on Index.htm to index.htm...

1. Ask your host what is your default index page?
2. Since you use frames then your nav and banner should not reload. When making links make sure you set your targets to the main frame. <a href="http://www.domain.com" target="yourframe">Link</a>
3. Make sure you add scrolling="NO" to the top frame. Also adjust the height of your top frame
