Hi everyone!
Please help me! I'm strating a new website and I need a blog, but my inline frame doesn't wnat to work! It says that the page doesn't exist...but its does! I have a question for anyone who could answer it, it may sound stupid, but do you need an index page to hold ur inline frame and main page together? Like when you use normal frames?
I think I misssed a step....all I did was make my main page, and add the tag to have an inline frame. Then, I went and did the acctual inline frame page, saved it under "blog" and view my page, but it'S not working....I tried to lurk around Lissa'S site, but her pages won't open on my computer. Here are the tags I have on my MAIN page and IFRAME page.....please tell me what I did wrong, or what I didn't do!

MAIN:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Simple Soul</TITLE>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<font face="vivaldi" size="45#" color="#ffff66">...For the soul is all that matters...</font>
<img src="soleil1.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="sunset"><iframe FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER=0 width=445 height=400
style="position:absolute; left:180; top:82" src="HTML FILE"
name="NAME OF HTML FILE" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true" scrolling=auto></iframe>
</iframe>

</BODY>

and now my IFRAME page:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your page title goes here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<body style="background-color:transparent">
<BODY>
umm this is just a test, and it's NOT working!:'(:'(:'(

</BODY>
</HTML>

THANK YOU!

src="HTML FILE"

HTML FILE is not an url, you need to fill in the url where the file is located on your space. Change it to the name of the file you want to appear into the inline frame for example:

inline.html

first of all you have 2 body codes in the first one which is not needed.

<html>
<head>
<title>whatever</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="ff0000">
then add text img and iframe where you want. tables are good for location.

</body>
</html>

and yeah try to put the url location. like www.whatever.com

Also you have two body codes in your frame as well.

yup! you target it just the same way you would a regular frame:
this is your link:
<a href="whatever.html" target="Frame">whatever</a>

in an iframe code:

<iframe FRAMEBORDER="0" width=200 height=200 src="iframe2.html" name=Frame></iframe>

the bold thingie is the frame name... it needs to match with the bold in the link target

hope that helps!
