TCH-Thomas Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Not sure if this is correct forum but... Can all "modern" browsers show iframes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 They are fully supported by all Microsoft browsers above 3.0, Netscape 6, and Opera 5 and I can see them in Firefox 0.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Starting with version 5, most browsers started to support IFRAMES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borfast Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 IFrames are part of the XHTML standard, so any browser that supports that, supports IFrames - basically, IE 3+, Opera 5+, Mozilla 1.x+ (this includes Firefox, which is based on Mozilla).

Samrc Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 And with the invisible border settings, they are actually on more pages than you realize! Many examples and tutorials for iframes here: http://www.samisite.com/test-csb2nf/id43.htm including 2 iframes with one link, transparent iframes, scrolling iframes, static (linkable iframes), changing content of one iframe with the content of another iframe, etc. They are written with CSB in mind, but can be used with any editor. -Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thanks all And by the way Samantha, I was already planning on to follow your excellent instructions for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaJill Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thomas, just remember that stuff in iframes may have the typical search engine unfriendless that is associated with frames and, even worst in my opinion, those pages can not be easily bookmarked. If you want a scrolling area you can also use a scrolling div which has neither of the two aforementioned problems. =) Just something to bear in mind!

Samrc Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 VERY TRUE. If you want the search engines to find the contents of that page, do not put it in an iframe! But using iframes for some things has it's advantages as it takes up less space like the scrolling div can be used for brief descriptions or explanations. But an iframe works so well for forms that have thank you pages so the thank you appears where the form was on the page, and some very neat special effects when transparency is used, or when links need to change a small part of the page instead of opening into an entire frame, or same/new window. -Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecoli Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 is the search engine problem still a factor if all of your content pages that are displayed inside the iframe are linked from outside the iframe in the main document (ie, links on the main page which target the iframe -- so technically there's a direct link to the subpages)... thx skye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
