I need Sherlock Holmes ( or someone ) to help figure this out ....
situation
I use shared hosting wherein the URLs are matched to a folder in my host
I have 2 unique domain names, both point to the same folder (RIEco)
(Ravenswood.co and TheRavenswoodGroup.com)
worked perfectly for a couple of years
rebuilt the site using XARA Pro and FTP all files into the same folder (RIEco)
while testing the past few hours
I noted an anomaly
when I hit a hyperlink to an outside URL (unrelated to Ravenswood)
it still showed www.TheRavenswoodGroup.com in the URL for the visited site?????

and If I go into Ravenswood.co and click the same link - it works normally
upon more research
the view source for www.TheRavenswoodGroup.com
shows a FRAMESET????? but Ravenswood.co does not?? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? (yo sherlock)
as BOTH URL point to the same page
moreover - here is the view source for TheRavenswoodGroup
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>The Ravenswood Group</title>
<meta name="description" content="The Ravenswood Group is an International Holding Company with dozens of global partners and affiliated companies.">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
<frame src="http://www.ravenswood.co" frameborder="0" />
</frameset>
</html>
how does "TheRavenswoodGroup" even know about "Ravenswood.co"???
I opened the index.html (made with XARA) in an editor and there is no frameset coding
If I go to www.topgun.com/RIEco (the actual location of the files)
it works as expected (ie no frameset)
FYI
the foregoing is not a deal-breaker for me
I doubt anyone in the real world will even notice
BUT
sure 'need' to see how this happen as might be an issue in the future
sorry for the long read = hopefully, some might find it interesting help cipher this
in summary
two domains USING the EXACT SAME Xara files have different results
and yes - did look at my LINK CODING -- in XARA (is normal)

Re: I need Sherlock Holmes ( or someone ) to help figure this out ....
problem solved!
after an hour on the phone with the hosting company
and of course with them saying 'the problem was coding'
found an embedded server code redirecting the siteA to siteB
and both sites were already pointing to the same index files
ergo -- like a mirror
which is why 1 URL worked ok and the 2nd had issues
anyway -
