Hi Everyone,

I now know that I need to use iframes in order to make another screen appear in my main page. I also know that i can adjust the size and location of that "window". Now what i don't know is how to apply it to my web site, which is www.global-uniforms.com (Where you see the white portion of the screen.

Does anyone have a few minutes to help me out? For all testion purposes, say I wanna display page "Aprons" (One of the categories of products we sell) in the iframes located on the white portion of main page "Index'

Thx in advance,
Lat

I think you will probably need this (http://www.cmg02.com/cg2/iframe.htm), but don't get exicted, I know nothing of iFrames..... Just thought this site might help :)

Here's others:

-->htmlBasix (http://www.htmlbasix.com/iframe.shtml)
-->hooverwebdesign (http://www.hooverwebdesign.com/templates/iframe-generator.html)

Maybe these help, no???

It might also help to know that an iframe is a tag, like many others. You place it in the html of the page at the spot where you want it to be, just like you would an image. The cool part is that other things can be made to appear through it. The first thing one will see in it is set by the tag's src attribute, once again like an image except that an iframe's source can be another page. For an iframe that is initially blank, use no source attribute or set it empty:


<iframe src=""></iframe>

If you want to dynamically change the content of the iframe from the top page, the easiest way is to give it a name:


<iframe name="products" src=""></iframe>

Then, on the top page, you can use a link like so:


<a href="aprons.htm" target="products">Aprons</a>

On a page that is displayed inside the iframe, an ordinary link is all you need.
