Middle of of the page text box (frame) that contains hyperlinks

DS
I would like to construct a frame in the middle of a page, similar to
a text box with scrollers, but I want the part in the box to be AN
html page ....

What I want to do is take a LARGE amount of news headlines and
instead of displaying this long list on a page, or providing a link to
an archive page, I want to have a text box (middle of the page mini
frame with scrollers) in which I would call a file with the headlines
(including links) that can be scrolled and then clicked upon to open
up a different window to display the news items one by one.

That way I save an enormous amount of space on a page.

Any ideas?

I just learned that it's called an iframe (inline frame). Do a google
search: http://www.google.nl/search?q=iframe

A couple of comments:

"iframe" is "loose", so presumably not in Strict. But it is not deprecated. I
don't understand what it means to be loose but not deprecated. I think it is
the only such tag in 4.01.

"object" is perhaps the target for this sort of thing, but be warned that IE 6
doesn't handle an HTML object. (It does degrade in that case and handle the
content before the </object>).

A newbie question for you all: Suppose you have a webpage with two frames: a main frame, and a second frame. You have several hyperlinks to other websites in the second frame. What you want is this: when someone clicks one of the hyperlinks in the second frame, the website that it points to will appear in the main frame. Well, for most hyperlinks, this is easy. You just include the string

I have a frameset with an index frame and a main frame. The aspx pages in the main frame are loaded based on the hyperlinks clicked in the index frame. In any aspx page in the main frame I want to save the information in the various controls before the new aspx page is loaded. I thought I could use the Page event Unload, but it does not seem to be triggering when the aspx page is replaced in the frame by another aspx page.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
