Iframe (What They are and How to Use Them)
What are Iframes?
So you may be wondering what in the world are iframes? Well, an iframe is a box
(or a frame, which would make more sense) that contains a page inside it. And that frame
is on a particular main page.
It's like when you click on a link and it enters into a box/frame.
If you still don't understand what I am talking back then look at
this page
- click on a few of the links and you'll notice that a page from the link that you've clicked on
will enter into the frame.
I hope you understand what it is. I had a bit of trouble understanding iframes at
first aswell.
How to Use Iframes
1. First, copy and paste this code onto your main page (home page/index)
Change the positioning settings to suit your main page, and next, where it says
PAGE URL HERE paste in the page (like your blog, or updates page) url, so when visitors
see your main page they see the page that you just pasted the url of.
2. Now, here comes the anoying part. For all your pages that you want to open up in your
iframe, for the target, you must have frame
So your link code would look like this:
3. Another thing that may help you (which took me a while to figure out) is that the
iframe has a default colour around your page in the iframe. (It should be white.)
It's actually pretty easy to fix; just add code the code below to your CSS if you already
don't have it:
where it says COLOUR HERE insert the number colour code of your background.
Your iframe default border colour should now be gone now!
