I've just put up this site and i'm getting "Error: Unable to read footer file." at the bottom of every page. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Thanks.

I think you need to be more specific. Is it a custom built page? in php? jsp? or is it a freeware portal? It would be easier for us if you could post a link to the error page.
Most likely, the url specific in the code is wrong and the server could not find the file to read in... (hmm... this sounds obvious from the error.. but it could be more than meets the eye)
 
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>André Rodriguez</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<frameset rows="142,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="top.html" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
  <frame src="bottom.html" name="mainFrame" frameborder="no" scrolling="yes">
</frameset>
<noframes><body>

</body></noframes>
</html>
Error: Unable to read footer file.
Very easy to fix, just delete that last line and you'll be done :)
 
Delete what last line? That error isn't part of the code. You only see that when you view the source online. Unless, i'm not understanding.

Did a small check on the domain name and found that it is running on IIS 6. so the problem could be the IIS settings. Most probably you have the enabled document footer setting.

Try logging in to your site administrating panel (I think its yourwebsitedomain/admin). Under the Web Server menu, Click 'Configuration'. Under the Documents section. Uncheck the "Enable Document Footer" checkbox.

Btw, interesting content you have on that site.

Sweet! That did the trick. Man, I would've never known that, thank you.

As far as the content, thanks. It was a website for my cousin. Since I don't really do many websites (mostly print work), I thought it would be great practice. I'm not as proficent as I'd like to be but if I do a few more, hopefully i'll get the hang of it. I would love to do an all Flash site. I'm still trying to grasp how to actually do one.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.
