The webring controller at www.webring.org specifically states that your HTML fragment MUST be on the page URL that you submitted using the form in Step #1 of Joining the Ring.
Many webmasters code their sites using frames and prefer to place the html fragment on an 'internal' page of the frames presentation instead of the page designated when they joined. Doing so will cause the Automated Webring Checker to move your website back into the Queue, which then must be resubmitted into the ring by the Ring Webmaster. See our section below about how to have a 'work around' from this requirement.
Note: The HTML fragment contains built-in targeting to ensure that you do not load another webring into one of your sub-frames. This is to prevent multiple recurrsion within sub-frames and saves your viewers a step if they need to break out. Please do not remove the target coding if you use frames.
Cornet Webring HTML Fragment
It is important to not break the ring. The HTML Fragment must be visible on your website. To stay in the ring you must place this navigation html (or a reasonable facsimile) where it will be seen and used. We want to allow our visitors a chance to move easily through the ring. The webring organization that controls the movement of guests through the ring requires that the html fragment be placed on the page that you have submitted using the form in step #1. This also includes websites that code using frames.
Using Frames
If you are using frames, you must place the html fragment in the file you designated as your webring link page. Since most websites that use frames like to have a seperate 'internal' page in a seperate frame with links and associated webrings, you will need to place a copy of the fragment in your 'home' page that establishes the framesets. (This is usually saved as index.html in your account root directory depending on your server). The HTML fragement is placed outside of the <frameset> command. This will alleviate the problem of the webring automated 'Ring-Checker' program from removing your site out of the ring and back into the queue should you use a page other than what was submitted with your webring fragment.
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Website Title Goes Here</title>
<-Note that the frameset command is between the 'head' tags>
<frameset cols="20%,*" BORDER="0" framespacing="0">
<frame SRC="menu.html" NAME="menu">
<frame SRC="intro.html" NAME="text">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</head>
<body>
Now place a copy of the Webring HTML Fragment here in the' body' section.
It will not appear since your frameset code will pre-empt anything
specified in the body. Only web browsers that cannot display frames
will see the webring fragment and the Automatic Webring Checker Program will not
fail your site.
</body>
</html>
Please feel free to customize the webring navigation coding to your personal design specifications. All we ask is that the minimum elements be included to let everyone know that they are moving through the Cornet Webring. You are also free to use any image or special design to maintain the design integrity of your site. In fact, if you come up with a design that you think will better identify the ring, then by all means submit it to us and we'll post it here for others to use. (And we'll ensure you get proper credit for the design!)
This is what the above html fragment will look like on your webpage.
