    How do I link to a specific record using iFrame?

    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!

    Hugh

      The code in article.aspx has to handle the ID.

      Just as you are doing. Is there any code in article.aspx to make any
      use of the ID you pass it?

          Thank you Hywel.

          I'm not sure what the code would need to be since I have two pages that I am
          working with. The parent page is called knowledgebase.a spx and has the
          iframe script below. Would I need to put this in the parent page, or the
          iFrame below?:

          <SCRIPT language=JavaSc ript>
          <!--
          function calcHeight()
          {
          //find the height of the internal page
          var the_height =
          document.getEle mentById('the_i frame').content Window.document .body.scrollHei ght;

          //change the height of the iframe
          document.getEle mentById('the_i frame').height = the_height;
          }
          //-->
          </SCRIPT>
          <IFRAME id=the_iframe align=left src="/knowledgebase/default.aspx"
          frameBorder=0
          width="100%" scrolling=no onload=calcHeig ht();
          height=446>
          Houston, we have a problem. We got a bit ahead of ourselves and made this
          with iFrame browsers in mind. We're so sorry. Please visit the knowledge
          base directly <href="http://www.anydomain.c om/knowledgebase/">here.</a>
          </IFRAME>

              That client-side JS is probably irrelevant - you need to edit the
              server-side code.
