Iframes.

[Ash]

I've got a template that could use a iframe but how do I get it to show on the main page and be the right width and height?

[johneva]

What do you mean?

Are you just asking how to make an Iframe in a page?

[Ash]

I got it now nevermind.

This may seem like stupid question but with iframes do you have to define a source or can you just use <IFRAME></IFRAME> ?

[Protege]

<iframe name="iframe1" src="frampage.html" height="100" width="400"></iframe>

Should work..

(if you want to open a page in that iframe, just use this: <a href="new.html" target="iframe1">go</a>)

That is the way to add iframes but...

iframes suck and should not be used if you can help it you should use either a scrolling div or a server side inculde depending on your needs.

Well it's for a profile I have so I don't really have to use one. How would I use a scrolling div?

[johneva]

Make a div set the size you want and use the

Code: Select all

overflow:auto


If you use percentages for the hight of the div and it is set to 100% it wont work though cos the overflow:auto just means scroll when needed.

To get round this instead of setting 100% set it as 101% and it should work then.

Here is a tutorial on it anyways.

and if you need any help just ask.
