iFrame help

AmiCreative · 01-08-2005, 12:09

Please can anyone help me with creating an iFrame.

What I am after is getting a frame created to the size of 780 x 550. Then I am want to get everything working within this frame so they won't have to use the back button and any bits of information which go over the size of this frame to have scroll bars...

Hope this makes sense.

If anyone could help that would be ace!!

Why are you creating an iframe seemingly the size of the screen of someone using 800*600 resolution? This would look strange to people with higher resolutions.

Infact. Why are you making an iframe the size of the screen? Why not just use the regular screen. Theres usually a better way than using an iframe. Please exlain why you need this.

Just a little more info please.

I'm creating an iFrame to produce an entire website which works within small window its just a design thing and have heard that this can be done by creating an iframe. I would then within this static iframe which has no scrollbars create smaller iframes which have the information and do have scrollbars.

Please can you help me to create both. I use dreamweaver as my application for creating the sites.

Many many thanks

Amy

Maybe I'm just not understanding what you wanted. Or maybe its because your sentences are sometimes missing words. Joshua2100 got it right. Just the iframe tag with the width and height and src(source) attributes. There are more than just those three though REFRENCE: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/ht...al/iframe.html

whats the difference between a frame and an iframe? just out of curiosity

A frameset is how you devide up the page, a iframe is used to put just a single frame into code. Iframe is called an inlineframe because its put into a page like any other code element, as a single thing.

i thought (dont laugh at me) that iframe was a company of some sort

If I was you, I'd find an alternative around that <IFRAME>

It is a redundant tag, originally supported by IE and works in FIREFOX, but the last time I used Netscape it was not supported. I try and aviod it all togeather.

Cheers!
