Hello. I'm so new to this so called iframe.

I'm using Frontpage, Photoshop. I already have my interface, and my interface use iframe. And I have the links in the interface. I don't know how to layer the iframe. This is a really BIG problem. I tried to put iframe, but it was destroying the interface design. Pictures are changing their place.

What are you wanting to do? Are the links not working?

I don't know how to make the iframe above layer and how to make the iframe seamless. and i don't know how to precise the position in pixels. is there any software used in counting the precise position of the image, so i could make the size correct?

Well you can position the iframe using absolute positioning, but using absolute positioning it usually not all that great.

To make what? A layer or an iframe? You can use Frontpage. You can also visit FrontPage Forums for specific help with Frontpage

Really?? I'm trying it now.. What I confuse is, if we want to put an iframe above a picture of a whole interface picture group, do we need to put the layer DIV to each of the pictures, whether they contain link or not, or only to pictures which have links?

Sorry to trouble you so much.. I never touch these whole CSS and layer and iframe before..

No - you can just use absolute positioning. Try the code that I gave you and play with the top & left margins

I did it! But there comes another problem. I didn't use layer, like you said. I just used absolute position. But then..

When the window is resized (no longer maximized, the iframe moved somewhere else, and showing that looks like it doesn't belong there. It's so ugly.. I wonder how to put it locked there. Since I tried using frame, but the frame then won't work. This is super weird!

Still, I'm gonna try till it works.

Do you have an URL to the page?

yep. i already have the url. i tested it for maybe 10 times. all worked when i didn't put the LAYER tag there.but since the iframe moved everytime the window is resized, i tried to put a layer there, and tested it with typing a text. It did well. But when I tried to test it with an iframe, it could not work.. Do I have to put something in the layer properties, except the width and length, top and left?

Do you have an URL to the page so that the source code can be reviewed?
