Need Help With Site IFrame help

Guys i have almost completed everything for my site thanks to people that gave nice tutorials and nice things but i seemed to have encountered a problem. My site http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is not working nicely as i hoped. When you enter it all the links in the menu bar have been directed nicely using dreamweaver. The problem is when you click on them they open all by themselves and not in their designated iframe. Please help me and check this problem. I will be blessing you for the help.

I think i understand this, the problem most likely is inside the hyperlink code. to open a link inside a frame or Iframe the code needs to be exte nded to include

target=frame_name

So the finished tag would look like this:

<a href=mylink.htm target=my_Iframe>

Of course replace "mylink.htm" with the pag to be linked and "my_Iframe" to the name of the iframe you want it to open in.

how do it do that.

Your site now has the Index of / HP. Can't help you now.

well I've never used dreamweaver but there might well be a property of the links, eg if you right click the link in design mode and go to properties, then check for a property like "target" and in there just type in the name of the iframe. I think teh name of the iframe can be found by right clicking the Iframe.

 

If all else fails you can edit the code of the page, it shouldnt take much, just use the "find" feature and look for "<a href" and it should look like "<a href=page.htm>some text</a>" you simply need to edit it to read something like "<a href=page.htm target=IFRAME_NAME>some text</a>"

 

someone with experience of dreamweave might be able to help more than i can!

Dreamwever doesn't have a direct iframer builder so you would have to hand code it. However, their is a application to build iframes for dreamweaver but you have to pay for this application. This is the website for it if you want to take a look Here

But here is a simple dreamweaver tutorial on building iframes in dreamwaver Here.


I did look at your code and tested out hte links and it looks like you got it so yo ucan use this for a reference.

However I would make one recommendation drop the gradient from the template and then then create a simple image for the gradient and then add the gradient into the background.
