iframes coding problem (celestal-star tutorial)

« on: February 11, 2006, 07:22:08 AM »

im stumped on the first step of coding in the iframes tutorial at celestial star.

Adding the iframe code

We'll remove the img thing there and place our iframe. This is what you have at first:

<TD><IMG SRC="images/index_number.jpg" WIDTH=x HEIGHT=y ALT=""></TD>

This is what you need to put:

<TD WIDTH="x" HEIGHT="y"><iframe src="main.html" name="frame" WIDTH="x" HEIGHT="y" frameborder="0"></iframe></TD>

this is my code (i havent made any changes)

Quote

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>layout</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>

<TABLE WIDTH=800 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
   <TR>
      <TD COLSPAN=5>
         <IMG SRC="images/index_01.gif" WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=101 ALT=""></TD>
   </TR>
   <TR>
      <TD ROWSPAN=3>
         <IMG SRC="images/index_02.gif" WIDTH=288 HEIGHT=439 ALT=""></TD>
      <TD COLSPAN=2>
         <IMG SRC="images/index_03.jpg" WIDTH=101 HEIGHT=313 ALT=""></TD>
      <TD ROWSPAN=2>
         <IMG SRC="images/index_04.gif" WIDTH=389 HEIGHT=426 ALT=""></TD>
      <TD ROWSPAN=3>
         <IMG SRC="images/index_05.gif" WIDTH=22 HEIGHT=439 ALT=""></TD>
   </TR>
   <TR>
      <TD ROWSPAN=2>
         <IMG SRC="images/index_06.gif" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=126 ALT=""></TD>
      <TD>
         <IMG SRC="images/index_07.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=113 ALT=""></TD>
   </TR>
   <TR>

You need to figure out the name of the image that you want to text to appear on, then find it in the code. Remove that image tag, along with the td tags surrounding it, then replace it with:

Code:

Replacing 'x' and 'y' each time it appears in that code with the width and height of the image you just removed. =)

That's what that step means...

thanks, but im still very confused.

Are you supposed to only change the first frame?

When you say remove the td tags surrounding it, does that include the colspan?

Okay, here's something a bit simpler maybe. Find the image that you want the frame to be over. Remove ONLY the image tag, but remember the height and width of the image.

Add on a height and width attribute to the td tag that was surrounding the image tag, making the attributes to match the height and width to match that of the image.

Now take this code:

Code:

Replace x with your image's width, and y with your image's height, then place the code in the td tags, right where your image tag used to be.

Does that make more sense?

Okay, if that is the one you use, you take it from this:

<TD COLSPAN=5>
IMG SRC="images/index_01.gif" WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=101
ALT=""></TD>

To this:

<TD COLSPAN=5> <iframe src="main.html" name="frame" WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="101" frameborder="0"></iframe></TD>

That's what you need to have instead of the original one. ^^ The colspan has to stay there =)
