Using IFrames in Adobe Dreamweaver

Wow, Window/Results/Reference seems to be the key to the Dreamweaver Universe. Thanks for one of those small tips that makes a world of difference!

Thanks! This really came in handy for my new website!

Great tutorial, many thanks!

I was wondering if the iFrame has the same SEO problems that traditional frames have?

Cheers

this seems like a great feature, but I have used “frames” before. and the one problem I noticed if you search for something in google or any any other search engine and it relates to something specific in your webpage the browser will only show the specific frame that the content is in and the user is left no way to navigate. will these “iframes” produce the same result?

Why is my custom code being stripped?

JavaScript, i-frames, style tags and other custom code are removed to prevent their use by potential Web intruders. Quote: Google Sites

Does this mean that i-frames won’t work on Google? Does this mean i-frames are a potential risk?

Hi there,
Since IFRAMES are a cool way to an page into another one, its has some SEO issues, so an possible alternative is to use CSS property:
“overflow:auto; ” ina tag and you can have the same scroll effect inside your page, without SEO problems. Of course if the content to show is in different html page this one won’t work.
You can define a div like this:

…….. long content …….

and the box will show the content in 200px height in a scrolling window.

Sorry this post system dont allow me to write CODE but google overflow:auto for CSS and you will see what I am talking about

Awesome tutorial! Fantastic!

Wow that is the coolest feature I have seen in a long time, thanks for the tip!

I am getting in on the Adobe bandwagon for developing web late. However, having Layers Magazine and quality tutorials like this one makes it seem just in time to be developing web pages using the Adobe suite of applications.

thanks just what i needed for my new website

Good tutorial but it’s too darn small. Cannot really follow cause I can’t really see it. Would be nice if it could open full screen or at least in a larger format.

geoff blake is an excellent teacher.

Thank you. Tremendously helpful.

Thank you!
Nice tutorial its really useful!

[...] a little post about a tutorial which might be of interest………..it’s on the Layers Magazine website but by Tenton Books.  Interesting links all [...]

Using Win XP & DW, in code view, right click where you want iframe, choose “insert tag…”. In the tag chooser window, click HTML in the left pane and iframe in the right pane and then the insert button bottom right. The Tag Editor window will appear and the most common parameters for iframes can be added. Much faster than copying/pasting.

You are my hero! Needed to embed a camtasia video into a webpage for a grad school project. I found a tutorial on iframes, but it wasn’t for dreamweaver. I had just about given up! Thanks! great tutorial.

Fantastic! Thank you! I’ve been searching for this all morning. You have made my day.

Thank you so much!!!!! your tutorial made complete sense to me.
Thank you for explaining the little things !!!!
Thank you!

Great tutorial! Only wish I would’ve found this a couple of days ago, it would’ve saved me hours of frustration and grief!

How to work with iframes in design view:
1) select iframe
2) in the TAG INSPECTOR panel, click attributes tab
3) you can now define the paramaters it lists (src, scrolling, style, class and other useful parameters)

this means YOU CAN WORK WITH IFRAMES IN DREAMWEAVER DESIGN VIEW,
***YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN CODE VIEW TO WORK WITH IFRAMES IN DREAMWEAVER***

Is it possible to insert an Iframe within a slice? without distorting the page that I created in photoshop and sliced and saved for web and devices? I havent tried this yet, but was just wondering if it’s possible.

I should have know tis earlier. Thanx a lot!

Great class!!
You have saved my life with the Iframe!Really usefull and easy.Thanks!

Having recently become a Dreamweaver convert from the dreaded MS Frontpage this has been most helpful! Frontpage tend to refer to these as Inline Frames and I was wondering why I couldn’t find these in Dw! Many thanks, very helpful!

Jim,
Will the iFrame work if I want to place a news feed in it ? How would I code that ? When I attempt to place http:// or www. it is looking for it on my hard drive and giving me an error.

Any suggestions ?

How do you get rid of the scroll bar and make the iframe autofit the page it is displaying?

Thank you SO much. Excellent tutorial. You’re a lifesaver!

I’m having a very hard time with this. New to Dreamweaver and old to Front Page…with Front Page I was able to put the content of my source url (which is located on a computer behind me) so that it showed the word game. Now when I try to do it in Dreamweaver (this is the only page I am working on to try go get just this part going) all I am seeing is the scoring table, the game is not showing at all. How on earth is Dreamweaver considered WYSIWYG when you cannot alter the spot on the src url? It was so easy in Front Page! I’m trying to learn Dreamweaver, but so little reference is given to inline frames!

Anyone with proper info on this, I certainly would appreciate it. I can give you the site as it is now, with Front Page, just click on “the game” so you can see how it shows up now. I’m trying to get Dreamweaver to do the same.

It is at http://www.indymcduff.com, then click on “the game”…this is where I need the advice.
