Information about freewebs is incorrect. my site at:
http://www.freewebs.com/stonethegardener/
Has never had a problem with the stat counter code.

[webado]

Possibly it was correct at the time that guide was written.

I am wondering though why I had some problem accessing your page and in particualr closing the browser - somehing saying the site is acccessing somethting it has no control over

Have I just got myself invaded by something nasty?

[webado]

Yes indeed!

Freewebs seems to tack on a spyware script that gets picked up by security watchdogs both in IE ad Firefox.

In particular something nasty sounding comes up in conjunction with Tribafusion - worse than previous simple warnings I used to get.

Yet I see no ads on teh site itself. Just a js script in being included from a higher level, with the source named 1.js :


[html]
function k4() {
f=document.getElementsByTagName("form");
s='Sorry, this FreeWebs account is still provisional and forms are not permitted. \nFreeWebs accounts are provisional for the first 7 days.';
for(var i=0;i<f.length;i++) {
if (f[i].action!='http://members.freewebs.com/guestbookA.jsp'
&& f[i].action!='http://members.freewebs.com/guestbook.jsp'
&& f[i].action!='http://polls.freewebs.com/Members/Polls/vote.jsp'){
f[i].setAttribute("action","javascript:alert(s);");
f[i].onsubmit=function() {
alert(s);
return false;
};
}
}
}

function fw_i() {
var np=0;
var al=-1;
var prov=0;

if(xmlp.readyState==4) {
if(xmlp.status==200) {
if (xmlp.responseText.indexOf("Not Found")<0){
eval(xmlp.responseText);
if(np==1 && al==2) {
window.status='This site is hosted for free at Freewebs.com.';
}
if (prov==1){
window.setInterval("k4()",1000);
k4();
}
}
}
}
}

function loadText() {
var a,b;
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 5.0')>0) return;
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 4.0')>0) return;
if (document.getElementById){
eval("try { xmlp = new XMLHttpRequest();} catch (e) { xmlp = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP');} try { netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege ('UniversalBrowserRead'); } catch (e) { }");
}
if (xmlp==null) return;
if(document.all) {
xmlp.open("GET",'.i',true);
xmlp.onreadystatechange = fw_i;
xmlp.send(null);
} else {
xmlp.open("GET",'.i',true);
xmlp.onreadystatechange = fw_i;
xmlp.send(null);
}
}
loadText();

I don't know yet what this does, but it sems to have been up to no good.

Where do you find the above code?

I don't see any of it in my computer.

Is my fire wall blocking it out?

Provisional account?

[webado]

First as soon as I access your site I get this warning as shown in the image below:



So I proceeded to investigate where that may come from.

I found a javascript that is being included on your page, possibly by your webhosting, at the bottom of your page in the source code:
[html]
<script type="text/javascript" src="/i.js"></script></body>


</html>
[/html]

So I went to see what the script was all about. The url for the script is: http://www.freewebs.com/i.js

I posted the contents of that script in my previous post.

Thanks Chris....

I never knew....

If there was some way for me to put in a permanent redirect for the freewebs pages, they would all be at the new hosting. I very much dislike giving up the page rank I have at freewebs while I still have none at new site.

Any ideas?

[webado]

If Freewebs allow an .htaccess file, you can redirect that way. In time Google updates its index with the new location.

You can also use a meta refresh to redirect to a new location, however this won't help Google and other search engines.

One thing is certain, maintainig 2 sites with the same content will draw penalties from Google. Redirection by any means is better.

[stone]

I've named files .htaccess...Doesn't work.

I have both sites on the same navigation bar...not duplicate content.

I'd hoped by tying the two together with the same style across 3 domains to get instant pr on the new site...Hasn't happened.

Yeah, I know that the search engines would pick up the pages soon after moving them...I'd still lose the pr by using meta refresh.

So...I still have content at freewebs.com.

I have a similar problem, please help

If you'd like to disable, change the base url of the page.

Add this to the HTML:
<head>
<base href="http://www.freewebs.com" />
</head>
