iframes and 'Initial Frame'

Post by lingrovecs »

I have been looking at Milonic for the last couple of days.

I am by no means a code freak but I am quite good with 'cut and paste' !

I have a menu with a large 'iframe' and I can create menus items and, when selected, get other web pages to display in the iframe.

I think it's great.

My cut and past skills have failed to find a method of populating the iframe when the page first loads.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you mean you want the menu in the iframe? Do you have a url so we can see what you want?

problem solved

Sorry to have bothered you I have now solved the problem - and the anwer was embarassingly simple !

I have outlined the details below in case they are of any use to anyone else

To clarify the situation -
I am using Iframes to recreate a 'classic' top frame/bottom frame page.
The menus are in the top frame
The menus do cascade over the iframe
everything works (on XP IE6)

When the page loads it initially loads with an empty iframe
I wanted to be able to populate this frame with a 'home page'

The solution was simple (once I had bothered to read the HTML word was creating for me!)

My Iframe is defined in my source HTML

<iframe width="100%" height=600 id=tempiframe src="">
</iframe>

All I needed to do was change 'src=""'' to src="homepage.htm'

Great product.
I now have a working model to demonstrate.
Happy as the proverbial pig

And, now that I read the post again, it was obvious that's what you were asking. So, I'm in the same boat :!: :oops:

Hmmm, pigs are proverbial? j/k I agree, I think the product is superior to anything out there. It's why I volunteer on the forum, as do John and Kevin. Good luck.
