Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : URL forwarding with cloacking (Frames)

Hi, Maybe someone could help with this.
I just purchased a domain and set up URL forwarding so that
when someone types the domain name the they are re-directed to actual URL (hosted on ATT Broadband).
The forwarding is setup in such a way that the browser keeps
showing the domain name instead of the real address (they call this method cloacking or frames).

The problem is this. I have links on my main page to my other files in the same area. If I follow a link, I am taken to
one of the files. Now, while I am looking at this file, if I hit refresh button, I expect to get the same file, but updated.
Instead, however, I am taken back to the home page.

To see this, go to www.homeloanma.com (this is my domain),
and follow any link. Then hit refresh button.
This is not OK, because the user may not be able to get updates to pages other than index.html.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Roman

Strange, it dosn't seem to be anything wrong with your index.html-file, it worked well when I tried it at my website.
:-/
Try contacting the people wich sold you the url, if not anyone else knows what to do. :-/

When you refresh a frameset page, most browser's default behaviour is to load the pages specified in the <frame> tag, rather than the page currently visible.

Unfortunately, I don't know a workaround, but I need one for a site I'm working on. Anyone else got any ideas?

right this is only a 'hunch' but im certain it may work.

You have a frameset with only 1 frame in. i suggest trying to put just an empty frame (well you may have to have it at like 1 pixel height) say above the title "Diana Shulman Home Page"

It shouldn't disturb the overall layout of the lage too much as it will only be very small.

Let me know if this works :)
