iframes Question

Tom

Hello guys.

I'm using an iFrame at the moment (think they're great) at
www.tom-bennett.com for the caption comp on the left top.

As you can see it has no border, but i was wondering can u customise the
height/width of them to 100%, so it just expands to the size of its
containing htm file??

Cheers guys.

Tom.

Click to expand...

Yes. Right-click the Iframe, choose Inline Frame
Properties, and set the width to 100%.

height of its containing url?

Correct, the Iframe does not auto-expand. The content must adjust to fit or
you have to size the IFrame to the correct size.

Exactly. A width of 100% makes the iframe consume as much as possible
of the surrounding Web page. The iframe doesn't adjust to the width of
its contents.

Jim,

Does your excellent book 'FP 2002 Inside Out' have a iframe section? Or this
is new for FP2003?

Thanks,

Sinan

Yes, consult pp. 529-531 in the FP2002 book, or pp. 425-428 in the FP2003 one.

This feature is basically the same in both software versions.
