    Sorry to a bit harsh, but what have you tried already?

    Have you consulted the manual? the help?

    Hint - You'll find everything you need in design view, but it is really best if you try yourself, and only then, ask for help. How else will you learn?

    Scott,

    you have enabled automatic frames in your website, probably by accident.
    Go to your page view, press F10 for your Masterborder properties, select the tab Auto Frames.
    Disable the frames by clicking Left, Right, Top, Bottom till there are no numbers behind them anymore.

    After that you do a full publish of your website.

    Cheers

    Excuse me while I try on my crotchety hat...

    OK. First, you are using Frames. Just stop it! Turn them off! This is part of your problem. Place your banner and nav bar in the MasterBorder area, and turn off frames. The only reason that frames is still an option is, I presume, for backward compatibility for older sites that were created with frames.

    In Design View, click in the MasterBorder area, or inside one of the frames, to get the MasterBorder Properties panel to come up. Alternatively, press F10.

    In the MasterBorder Properties panel, the fourth icon at the top is for what is called AutoFrames. Click on that and the panel will show Frames. It's difficult to see, but you need to de-select ALL of these. They appear slightly indented and dark when selected, and raised and lighter when de-selected. When selected, they will have a number in parentheses beside them.

    Now, turn them all off. Go ahead, I'll wait.

    OK. Now go to Site View, where your site structure is shown in a flow-chart like manner. Click on a page and note the Page Properties panel at the right.

    The Page name is the name that will appear on the navigation bar for your pages. Likely they are all OK. The Page title is what appears on the title bar of the browser. In FF, both the tab and the title bar show this. It defaults to the page name so it is not blank. Go ahead and change each Page title to be something a little more descriptive. This is good for SEO.

    I'm not entirely clear on the second part of your question about showing the "just... the website address". The status bar at the bottom of the browser will always show the true URL of a link when you hover over it. The page title will show whatever you want; you just have to enter the information you want displayed.

    Scott was just confused that the URL was not changing when he was clicking through the pages.....

    Thanks, Mia

    If I'd known David was going to be the bad cop, I'd have tried to be good cop.

    I hope we didn't scare Scott away.

    Glad you got it sorted....

    To center your pages in browser:

    In the Masterborder properties (F10) click HTML and enter the tag <div align="center"> in the begin of body and </div> in the end of body.
    Begin of body and End of body are the 4th and 5th small icons in the top of the HTML window.

    Cheers
