OK.. On your site, www.pubarso.com, you have the box in the middle... It isn't a frame.. i think.. i think u did it with CSS.. i'm currently trying to do that with another site i'm making.. (which currently isn't uploaded either.) Umm, how did you place that? I read the section on webmonkey.com but it didn't help too much. Thx...

I think what you're talking about are IFRAMEs. They are basically framed windows nestled within a normal web page layout. IFRAME stands for Inline Frame (kind of like inline images).

The W3C specification is here: Inline frames: the IFRAME element. If you prefer something not as dry as the W3C specs, here is an article from Webmonkey that you might enjoy reading: The IFrames lowdown.

Yes.

older Netscape does not support IFRAME though, so .. try to visit pubarso.com with Netscape, and you'll get booted to a "sorry, use a newer browser" message.

Yes, I lose a little traffic, but not enough that I care enough to not use an IFRAME :)

Ok, so what's the difference between Iframe's and layers inside of Dreamweaver? Or are they the same thing?

Quain 08-05-2002 09:19

I know that with the Layers in DW... you can't name them and you can't load up an external html file like an IFrame... (or a regular frame.)

Quain 09-05-2002 15:06

Alright... Heres what I'm trying to do. I have the IFrame call in the frame with this:

Code:

IN THE HEADER:

<style type="text/css">

  #floatframe {position:absolute;

        left: 160px;

        top: 105px;

        z-index: 100

      }

  </style>

IN THE BODY:

<iframe width=556 height=277 frameborder=0 align=left scrolling=no name=contentback  opacity="25"></iframe>

It COMPLETELY blocks out everything behind it. I want it to show through so you can see the background behind it. Is it possible? Maybe it can be an image that has a low opacity...?

THANK YOU guys for everything.. and Brandon.. i leeched some Javascript code from your site, but put a thanks in my code saying where i got it from.. i hope its ok.. if its not.. lemmie know.. i'll try and find a substitution.. or write my own javascript.. *shudder*
