    Iframes question

    well i want to put my forums in an iframe and put a music play up top in a iframe so it doesnt have to reload each time i play it. But now i dont get the url of the forums so i wonder is there something similar of an iframe or can i make the iframe read the url?

    Why don't you use Ajax instead? We are in 2006, not 1990.
    It is no coincidence that even well optimized frame sites struggle to get into Top10 sites.
    Even if Google handles frame spidering ok, other engines don't.
    Search for "Ajax tabs" on Google, tons of examples.

    Anyway, to answer your question. Put this into a web page:
    Code:
    <iframe title="The Microsoft website" src="http://www.microsoft.com/" scrolling="auto" width="400" height="200"></iframe>

    I forgot, if you want to see how bad is IFRAME, just validate this code:
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
    <title>iFrame</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <iframe title="The Microsoft website" src="http://www.microsoft.com/" scrolling="auto" width="400" height="200"></iframe>
    </body>
    </html>
    Every single atribute in IFRAME is bad, while using XHTML Strict (the standard).
    Result: Failed validation, 6 errors

    Did you search for the keywords I told you?
    It can't be that hard to find, it's the first link.
