iframes and tables

[Alec]

Am new to iframes so a quick question.

Visit www.cadcamlinks.com/iframetest.htm or code below.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800">
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="middle">left side
<p><IFRAME frameBorder=0 height=100 width=60% marginHeight=0
marginWidth=1 scrolling=no
src="schottsysteme/links-schottsysteme-2007.htm" </IFRAME></p>
</td>

<td width="50%" valign="top">right side</td>
</tr>
</table>

I have a table with two columns containing text 'leftside' and
'rightside'. The iframe has been inserted in the left column after the
text. Why do I always then lose the right side column when I view the
webpage? Should iframes be used in tables?

Many thanks

What do you Expect would happen?

You have table set to 800 px width
You have 2 cells set to 50% (that's 400 px each)
And in one of the 2 cells you are trying to load an Iframe with pages that are 797 px wide

No wonder only half the IFrame page (400px) is showing

Thanks for the reply.

The iframe is set to 350 pixels within the 800 pixel table

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800">
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="middle">left side
<p><IFRAME frameBorder=0 height=100 width=350 marginHeight=0
marginWidth=1 scrolling=no
src="schottsysteme/links-schottsysteme-2007.htm" </IFRAME></p>
</td>

<td width="50%" valign="top">right side</td>
</tr>
</table>

The page and table it loads is only 300 pixels wide

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300">
<tr>
<td>
<p style="margin-left: 10"><font size="3" face="Arial">Text1</
font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p style="margin-left: 10"><font size="3" face="Arial">Text2</
font></td>
</tr>
</table>

I still have the same problem with the right hand side of the table
not showing. Where is the page it loads defined as being 797 pixels
wide? Am I missing something (which is highly likely)????

Thanks

Alec

It doesn't matter
- you page content in links-schottsysteme-2007.htm is locked at 797

Thanks for the help. I suppose there is no way around this?

All I need is for several different pages (news articles) to include
at the bottom the content contained in another page (basically a
common list of news links). I am trying to keep away from a normal
frame, and have just been introduced to iframes. I know I could use
php, but I want to keep this as pure html.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Alec

Why not just use include pages then? You would out the news items in their
own page and then include them on each page you want them to appear on.
