Oh, I know it wasn't created just for that, it's for embedding media, etc etc. Just meant that since they were going to be depreciating the iFrame web developers were meant to use object instead, but it didn't catch on and now the iFrame is back with extra features in HTML 5. -
Right. By my understanding, the object tag in HTML 4.01 Strict was meant to replace the functionality of the iFrame, and they would be phased out completely but... and that's where I'm at a loss, too. I can only guess that people continued to use iFrames despite this, or many complained about it, because they were added back into the standards for HTML 5 with a new "seamless" attribute to make it easier for them to appear as a natural part...Leave a comment:

Elyse Summers replied to How to load duel iFrames via redirect when pages are accessed from an outside domain?in JavascriptI solved this, though not in the way I was initially thinking to, but just in case some one ever has this same problem here is my work around:
Code for index page:
Code:<script language="javascript"> window.onload=function(){ var a=window.location.search.substring(1); if(a!='')document.getElementById('art').src=a; } </script>

Thanks so much for all the pointers guys, got it worked out - yes, it was definitely in the javascript (thanks again!), for some reason it was writing differently (or more likely, ie was reading wrong) in the standard browsers vs ie. I removed the two lines

Yeah, iFrames are super quirky, it's why I was so hesitant to use them in the first place. They caused me quite a few headaches before I really got the hang of them. It is weird but the iFrame parameters are supported in both Transitional and Frameset, it's why I couldn't create this page in Strict (http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_iframe.asp). That's also where I got the "using object to replace iframe" thing, since an iframe's attributes...Leave a comment:

@ Brian Cheung: Thanks so much for pointing that out :) I'll start from there and hopefully work it out. I'm letting the javascript write the CSS for a few reasons, but mainly I didn't have time to write an entire script for the the navigation myself with the billable hours I was given for this project (also, javascipt's not my forte) so I used a shareware that best suited my needs, and that's how it came. Of course I could have gone in and seen...Leave a comment:

Oooh, when I saw "above" I assumed above, not "on top of", my bad.
In that case, here's your basics. It's not a hundred 100% true center right now because it's pointless making it pixel perfect when you don't know the exact size of your final content, but slightly adjusting the percentages in the #content div will let you move it around on the table.

Why is UL reverse indenting in firefox, chrome, etc, but not in IE?
The site:
http://www.bradleyalanhart.com/index2.html
The context: When you start opening the flipmenu navigation in Firefox, the links open in a reverse indent cascading towrds the left (middle) of the page. Which, weirdly enough, is what I want. When you open it in Internet Explorer, it displays itself as a regular unordered list would.
ul/li style values have been set in both bahart2.css and flipmenu.js, both... -
Put the table in a div, too, then center everything, including the body, using CSS.
...Code:<html> <head> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body{ margin: 0 auto; text-align:center;} #content{ position:relative; margin: 0 auto;} #myTable{ position:relative; margin: 0 auto; } </style>Leave a comment:

Elyse Summers replied to How to load duel iFrames via redirect when pages are accessed from an outside domain?in JavascriptHey gits, thank for the point in the right direction - I definitely needed some different perspective. I've got the first half working, success! I'm just having trouble getting the second iFrame to load, too - maybe someone could take a peek and see if I'm doing something glaringly obviously wrong? (I most likely am - this was my first stab at writing and implimenting something that doesn't directly deal with changing html/css stylistic variables)...Leave a comment:

I'm working on a site for an artist who didn't want to use flash to display his work (unique, right?), so I am using two iframes to display the work and the description with the navigation on the index page in a div. I know, I know, iFrames, but he wanted to have multiple pictures in a series change while the navigation and description below remained static and have each image on it's own page so it could be linked to individually if needed, so what... -
Oh good, finally something I feel reasonably like an expert in!
1)There are certain things to code to make it show up more on a search engine, yes, most of which have all already been mentioned here. Another one you can add are titles on your anchor tags, if you have any, and you should make sure your page validates - webcrawlers/robots aren't as smart as browsers, so they may ignore sections of your text if not nested properly, etc,...Leave a comment:

Oh my god. I forgot to change it back from when I was messing around with that div's background colour last week. Well, I feel like an idiot, but I'm very relieved it's fixed - thank you so much! It sucks being the only one in my department so there's no one to check over my work - I appreciate it so much, thanks again.Leave a comment:

I have one last, irritating bug in my company's new website that I can't fix and I'm hoping you may be able to help with. It may be related to my java menu, but it is a stylistic issue so I'm trying here first.
Here is the site link: http://www.ghjohnsontr ading.com/new-site/furnishings.htm l
Relevant style sheets are outline.css and stylesheet01.cs s in the /new-site directory.
The issue I'm having is this:... -
Thank you so much for your help - isn't it always the little things that slip by you? Having this fixed is such a relief because I can move onto content now - again, thanks! I really appreciate the fix (and the helpful advice.) This is my first time doing a site on this scale using JavaScript, so I'm sure I'll be back with more questions as I continue... and to see if I can be of any help, of course :)

problem counting ul elements in firefox for collapsible outline menu
I'm working on a collapsible outline navigation system for my company's new site and I've got it working fine in IE8, but in Firefox the list and nodes load fully extended. (http://www.ghjohnsontrading.com/elys...rnishings.html) I asked someone for help debugging and we think it's a problem with this area:
...Code:function outlineInitOutline(outline) { var kids = outline.childNodes; for (var i = 0; (i < kids.length);
No activity results to display
