So I use OmniWeb for the first time and I go to my favorite comicbook site (http:www.savagedragon.com) and in the frame where the news is normally posted there is a message that my browser doesn't support iFrame! What are they, and when will OW support them?

Also, if I wanted to put iFrames on my own site, how would I got about doing this? Thanx.

Well I'm assuming you are fimilar with frames? An iFrame is just an inline frame. That is, it's a method of including another HTML page within a current page. They are most obvious when they appear as a scrollable area of text. Sometimes you won't even know that they are there, for instance the new design of www.wired.com uses them to include advertisments within the page.

For more detailed information see www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#h-16.5

To include in your page you would use the syntax:


<iframesrc="foo.html">
[Text to appear if frames aren't supported] </iframe>



You can specify height and width attributes for the inline frame and also determine whether it is scrollable.

You can also use the object tag to include a document within another. However there is less browser support for this.

The best way to include another html document is to use a server side scripting language.

No idea about Omniwebs support, I would recommend using Chimera.

Thanx
This is exactly what I needed to know. I prefer to spell it iFrames rather than iframes, cuz that way it looks like it has something to do with Apple.

Look for iFrames in my webpage soon..
