I have my new site up and running now, and several members have been very kind with the comments. British Comedians However, like a lot of people that build sites, I not yet completly happy with the look of it. I have another one built that I would like to use, and I have Smart FTP to upload it. The present site was uploaded using the Terrapin FTP upload system that I had from NTLworld.

I should explain that the web address is just covering my NTL homepage address. This is http://homepage.ntlworld.com/s.burns The trouble is that when I try to load the site via Smart, it will just not accept it. I have viewed their help menu, and tried that, I have tried using different methods, but with no luck. Has anybody got a clue?

Hi Steve, not much help I am afraid as I have never mastered the problems of uploading to NTL and having the domain name link to it. I eventually took web space which costs me just over £4.00 a month so that the domain name Bearsandhouses is the only domain name for it. I use FileZilla, a free ftp program from Mozilla who do Firefox which is the primary browser that I use. Once set up with user name password and the ftp address, it connects and uploads every time.

Sorry I can't help but I am sure someone out there should know. It may be that a bit more info is required as to exactly what you do and what happens when you do it.

This one I think is in Darrens expertise. I have managed to find out how to upload via the ftp address, and if anybody is interested in the ntl site version, I can supply it.

However, another problem has now arisen. If you have checked out the site, you would have noticed that the buttons do not work correctly. Well that was not good enough, so I have had a full rebuild. I uploaded it via the ftp address directly, after taking away the old site. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to put a menu in the index page.

No problem I thought, I will add the menu, and just over write the index page. However that did not work, so I deleted the index page, and put in the new one. That did not work either, so I deleted the whole site, and checked it out on the web. The index directory was still there, and when I re-uploaded the site, the old index page without the menu is still there.

So if Darren as the web developer with more knowledge than I will ever have can help in letting me know what is going on, I would be very grateful.

Let's see if we can solve this one, I think I have found it already
Looking at your source for the page(s) I noticed a bad script callThe script is pointing at a path which does not exist on the server. You should upload the WS3 folder inside your root folder and then call the script using the following code

Your JS files are Java Script files, which are included into the HTML page. When using external scripts I recommend adding these to a seperate script folder. This way you will have things more organized and it will make it easier for you to handle. Since you already have the WS3 folder I recommend moving your xaramenu.js script into that folder as well, and replace the script within your HTML source with this where the original one says
I noticed an e-mail script within your subpages which is also linked incorrectly. The script is your email_here.js, which you have currently running as This code should be replace with

Start by making these changes and let me know if you need any help

I guessed that you would find it straight away. I have moved the file into the root folder, and all of the menus have dissappered. I guess that I will have to reinstall them and save the files in the folder in my root folder. I will try that tomorrow. If I have done anything wrong here just let me know.

Can you remember if the site was originally built using frames, this can explain why the menu has disappeared.

The Index file could originally have been a container for the frames, where the left part of your site was a menu page and the center part were the indexes and subpages.

If the Index (containing the frames) was accidently replaced with the main page, this will explain why you never see the menu, as visitors will always bypass the menu as it is never called from a frame set.

Just a thought
