Babysweet Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 what browser and version are you using? Sincerely, Joseph Seabert
paulm2003 Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 It sounds like you are using frames on your site, it's probably best to remove them. Do you have an url?
Guest Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 I am using IE6 and I am using the default osCommerce install (does it have frames in it?). My URL is www.focus-computers.com Thanks!
Guest Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Actually, I'm looking at my index.php file and it seems like osCommerce is using tables... but not frames. -Jeff
FlyingMonkey Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 does the meta tags go in the index.php or in the header.php? Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first.

Sorry my mistake, google uses frames and somehow it seems that your browser does not support them :blink: So Babysweet's question was valid: what browser and version are you using?
fishy Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Slightly off topic but google ignores meta tags. i see many meta descriptions within google results. whether google uses them in their algorithm for ranking purpose is another issue. but they can show on the results, depending on the other text on the pag. best.

Sorry my mistake, google uses frames and somehow it seems that your browser does not support them :blink: So Babysweet's question was valid: what browser and version are you using? I know IE6 supports frames, so what could be another explanation why I'm getting that 'error' in google? I'm just curious what the search for 'focus-computers.com' shows in other peoples' browsers. Thanks everyone! -Jeff Miller
paulm2003 Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 'm just curious what the search for 'focus-computers.com' shows in other peoples' browsers. Your browser does not support frames. We recommend upgrading your ...You are right, it's not your browser. Very strange :huh: It does not happen with (most) other websites.
Babysweet Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 that is weird I get the same thing Tip: Try Google Answers for help from expert researchers Your browser does not support frames. We recommend upgrading your ... Google can show you the following information for this URL: Show Google's cache of focus-computers.com Find web pages that are similar to focus-computers.com Find web pages that link to focus-computers.com Find web pages that contain the term "focus-computers.com" I know my browser is good for frames, I use them on my site. I don't know, maybe google doesn't allow searches for sites in that fashion I mean, if you have your web address, focus-computers.com, why would you be searching google for it, Maybe like what MSN does when you click a link they use a frame so their addvertisement is always on top anyway, I don't know, hope you find the solution Sincerely, Joseph Seabert
vasttech Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 It may have something to do with the hyphen in your domain name. Google (and most search engines) use the hyphen as part of their query. See http://www.google.com/help/refinesearch.html for more info. Just a thought. osCommerce Knowledge Base osCommerce Documentation Contributions
