Hello to all.
I have no real clue on how to make this idea work but it sure seems feasible and would immensely appreciate any assistance or direction to make this happen.
What I want to happen is to have the user have the ability to turn an IFRAME, ON and OFF at anytime say within a series of 25 continuously linked pages.
OK that doesn't sound like a big deal. The problem is how do I make the IFRAME stay open or closed as the user moves from page to page through the sequence of pages? I am trying to create closed captioning component for a training piece. So if the user decides to use the CC the IFRAME would stay open through all the pages of a section and the content of the IFRAME would automatically change to correspond to the new page as the user advances through a section.
I have done this in flash by loading and unloading movies. So to show the CC the user hit a button that unloaded the top layer movie to expose the CC on a lower layer and back on to close or hide it again. That was a pretty simple task but I can not get my head around JavaScript and IFRAME to make this happen and could sure use a whole lot of help.
Thank you
Clancy
