Well guys, one or both of you are right. There is no file I can find on the
server that contains this 'frameset' page. The webpage is stored in a folder
called public_html on the the web server. When I try to move it outside of
this folder, all I get is an ftp page in my browser when I try to navigate
to www.breezeinn.ca . Like, Index.html is not where it's supposed to be
anymore or something.

There is a URL forwarding service applied to this domain that points
www.breezeinn.ca to a free webspace account through an ISP. Does this mean
that there is no way for me to get my page out of this silly frameset shell,
so I won't have refresh issues? If so, why is that exactly?

As far as I know - it isn't necessary to use a frame to allow the look of
always browsing within that initial domain. In fact - when I was designing
this site, I was told by the Domain Registrar that if I used frames - their
URL forwarding service would not work with my site. As in, they would not be
able to make it look as though I was staying within the initial breezeinn.ca
domain when navigating through the site. And then I find that someone is
putting it inside a frame anyway? Puzzling.
