"iFrames"

Right, pondering the use of iFrames (NOT frames *shudders*) on one page of my website, and wondering if there are any reasons for me not to, they appear to be quite popular on another forum I hang about on, but there are a lot of people on here who really know their stuff, so I thought I'd ask your opinions..

very good, and ur code is very clean. shame the page is sitting in a frameset though, that could exclude search engines.....

That's actually quite cool :o).

thanks a lot guys, you've been great.

pop over to www.thebeardedcrew.co.uk

.... unless you state not to have scrollbars, which in that case the rest of the IFRAME page won't bee seen.

IFRAME's will just scroll like a Web Page.

Thanks Nimco, you're a star. I've got one more question...

I can get the coded form of the pages, and the iframe code is already in there (height, width, scroll definitions etc)

I'll just be changing the text inside the iframes. So if I write more text without changing any of the height/width/scroll options, will the frame just scroll down more or will it just mess up?

u dont need javascript to do iframes, just use the code i put in my last post to make it....

Guh, right. Just started playing with the iFrames, and trying to do the Javascript idea, except I can't remember how to do it in javascript..

So could someone please write the javascripty bit to produce the iFrame please. (please?)

General syntax:

Standard attributes:
id, title, class, style

Optional attributes:
src: url of page to show in iframe
height: height of iframe (in pixels or as % of total height)
width: width of iframe (in pixels or as % of total width)
name: name of the iframe - same as the 'name' for other tags
longdesc: url of long description of iframe contents
frameborder: thickness of iframe border in pixels
marginheight: vertical margin size of iframe
marginwidth: horizontal margin size of iframe
scrolling: yes/no/auto - define scrollbars

In the next month or so I'm going to become moderator for a relatively small website, and at the moment it uses iframes. I don't know how to use iframes, and i would hate to have to redesign the site, it looks so cool at the moment. Does anyone know of any resources where I can learn iframes?

much appreciated
