iframe question

An iframe page consists of two pages - the iframe source and the page that calls that iframe. The user will see the iframe that calls the iframe when they type it into the browser.

You posted an image of some code previously with an iframe name. Unfortunately I don't want to reference that since it is an image but you have in there something like

What should I do then? I don't get how the percentage of the width & height work, beside don't they have to be 100%? What I did was I just copied and pasted the code into my HTML text editor, and then made a few adjustments with the html pages. So if I want my main page to display the page that I wanted (page1), then I should put page1 html into the src?

Why do you need to use iframes? Why not just point users to the correct link? Since you are using 100% it is not like they are seeing two page web pages (like most (i)frames are).

Well, the reason that I decided to use iframes is that everytime I wanted to change my layout or want to edit something on it, I don't have to go and fix all of the other pages. Beside iframes would allow my page to stay stationary when I click to other pages of my website. Without iframes, getting from this page to another would cause flickering, which annoyed me alot. I didn't know that iframes exist until one of my online friend told me about it. A lot of the webpages that I visited use iframes and for some reason, I just really like the way it works. I would really appreciate it if you can help me with my problem. I already got all of my pages loaded into the frames of my main page. Now I only need the frame on my main page to load in a particular page when I type in the webpage address. My webpage layout has the graphic, welcome banner on the left and the iframe on the right. All of the other pages will get loaded into the frames on the right.

Consider using included content. SSI was developed for this purpose - changing one file but having it throughout the pages as the same.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll stick to iframes since I have more knowledges on it, beside html codes can really get me confusing. I attempted to use Included Content; and I've been messing around with those codes for hours but it didn't really take me anywhere. ANywayz, I googled and found a way to fix my problem. Thank you very much for your patience with me. Like you said, Included Content is a lot simpler, I'll take a look back at it when I have time. Thanks again, appreciate it!!! Wink

Sorry I joined here instead of posting new thread.
Anyway I would like to know if an iframe can be targeted to some part of html instead of whole page?

for example, to view a certain table of somepage in an iframe.

Thanks in advance,
