Associating Iframe pages with a specific page. Server side

paul dallaire

HI! I need to associate a iframe pages to a specific page for my menu
system.

I want to be able to click on my menu system anywhere on my site and the
options that is clicked will load that options ( iframe page ) into a
specific page that holds the iframe.

Right now the options are only available when on the page that holds the
Iframe in question ( templates.htm )but if you are on another page (
index.htm) how do we tell it to load that option into ( templates.htm ) ?

I think I need some kind of ASP script that would associate any Iframe page
that I specify to the ( Templates.htm ) page.

How do we do this? does anyone have any ideas/examples ?

Total air code, but may give you some ideas...

Menu -
<a href="mainpage. asp?ifp=subpage .asp">Click</a>

mainpage.asp -
<%
ifpsrccode="doc ument.getElemen tbyid.if1.src=' " & request("ifp") & "'"
%>
<html>
....
<body onload="<%=ifps rccode%>">
<iframe id=if1 name=if1></iframe>
....
</html>

However, there must be easier (and non-clientside) ways! Try looking at
server.execute, or XMLHTTP etc
IME "clever coding" is a nightmare for someone else to pick up if they have
to work with your coding in future. Often better just to write the extra
pages as stand-alones unless it is more than 100 or so...

What's wrong with target="_top" ?

HI! _top will not work because its not always on the page which holds
the Iframe.

The menu is on all pages and the user could be on index.htm and the page
which holds the iframe is called premium.htm.

So if the user clicks the menu when on index.htm we have to put the
iframe_page into the premium.htm and display it.

_top will always target the outermost window, so its behavior will be
identical no matter where it is clicked. That said, ...

Please stop confusing pages with frames. You don't target pages.

target = frame-target [CI]
This attribute specifies the name of a frame where a document
is to be opened.

This is a solved problem. Consider this URL:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ence_entry.asp

The links in the tree at left target the right. What do you suppose the link
to [Properties] looks like? I'll share:

<a
href="/library/default.asp?url =/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties.asp"
title="Properti es" target="_top">P roperties</a>

See how that works? It still changes the content of the content frame, even
though it targets _top. That is one way to get consistent behavior.

HI! sorry about the quote problem. I never has too before. I always just
response to the actuall users post in question. I am not sure how to quote
as I have never done so.

Has for _top well I can use it if I am on the page ( eg. page_frame.htm )
that holds the Iframe ( Iframe001). I can load any given page into the
Iframe while on page_frame.htm.

Now what if I am on index.asp and I have a menu with sub options. I want
those sub options (eg, 1.htm, 2.htm, 3.htm..ect..) to load into Iframe001.
How do we do that?

Including page inside other page (similar to iframe)

by: Marcin Okraszewski | last post by:

Hi, I would like to include one page inside an other page, almost like a IFRAME does it. The problem is that I would like the included part to occupy as much space as it needs, so it would be treaded as a DIV. In other words if it the included page exceeds a given size it would resize to to show full included page. Normally, the IFRAME would create scrollbars. I also tried with <object data="page.html" type="text/html">, but the result is...

How do I link to a specific record using iFrame?

by: Hugh G. Johnson | last post by:

I have a knowledgebase (KB) system I installed into my existing dynamicly driven site. I used iFrame to grab the KB and place it in the content area of the page. This works great, but I realize now that I can't reference a certain article, such as /article.aspx?id=10221. Adding the record number does nothing since the iFrame references the article.aspx. What can I do to pass a variable to the iFrame? Thanks!

IFRAME running .aspx page problems with postback

Hi! We are experiencing a problem with running an .aspx page inside an iframe.
