HTML help

This is for all you webmaster HTML experts.

Can anyone tell me how to insert a window of an external page/site into another page? I've done it before , but a long time ago and can't remember how.

so .. i want a page that pretty much has a window or it's own inclosed box which has an intirely different website in it, but you can still remain with in your main site. I know someone knows what i'm talking about :-)

IFRAME is your friend here.

Yes IFRAME's are evil but it does what he wants it to do.

cool, that looks like exactly what I want - just looks a little more complicated than I remember :-( Do you have to use a style sheet, or is it just a tag with size inputs and scrolling stuff ?

[AndrewN]

so - we revisit my old question. Here is the site in question, and if you browse around in the picture test and IFRAME buttons you might be able to see what i'm trying to do. I hate the flash player the stupid site studio provides hense why I want to insert the JAlbum. I wouldn't use the stupid site studio at all, but it's easy for my other teamates to edit there info etc.

can any one send me an html file with the tags that I can edit, or use the album page in it?? or if there is a better way to do what i'm trying to do, i'm open for suggestions there too.

please don't make fun of me :-( I know the album sucks and the webpage probably does to - but i want to get the foundation in place and then clean it up.

You can just add the following to where you put IFRAME help in.

<IFRAME src="http://racing.zeroprofile.com/pictures/album/" height="100%" width="100%"/>

It will simply pull in the other page right there and expand its size to be the largest possible for the table cell it is in.

Edit: Forgot the " around the height number....not needed but for consistency.

awesome.. i think i just got it, but that was my next question... the 100% thing instead of pixels... here comes the test..

do I need to make a table first ?

If you look at the HTML that generates your IFRAME help page it already has a table. The "IFRAME Help !!!" bit is in a table cell. (a cell is determined by <td></td> tags) so you just simply need to replace all of the text you put in for the IFRAME help with the HTML I gave you.

[AndrewN]

i tried using the 100% but the cell is way to small. I"ll try it in the upper cell where the IFRAME help is, but i'm guessing it will still be small.. now i just have guessed some pixels.... I need food for the brain, i'll try after lunch.

[Mr Sunshine]

Its possible what is happening is your browser window is too small. The percentages are depended on your browser window size.

Thinking about it...getting a good size in pixels is a good idea. Just plug away.

[AndrewN]

yeah - because i think that JAlbum will always be the same size - I may resize that at home later to 4 rows instead of 5. anyway - I think I'm on the right track... thanks !

NP...and now you know why I hate web development! :lol:
