Let the frames float...

How would you like to open a scrollable browsing window inside your page? It's very easy to create such a window -- usually referred to as a floating frame -- in Explorer 3.x and Explorer 4.x.

 

Simply insert following HTML tags in to your page:

 

<IFRAME
  width="width of the frame"
  height="height of the frame"
  name="name of the frame"
  src="URL of the page to display inside the frame">

  ...whatever you place here will be displayed
     if the browser doesn't support
     floating frames...

</IFRAME>

Following is a working example of a floating frame. You should see a scrollable window if you're using Explorer 3.x or higher:

 

Since your browser doesn't support floating frames, here's a picture of what a floating frame would look like:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;IMG src="/i/tips/floatingframe_demo1.gif"&gt;

 

Code used to create the above frame:

 

<IFRAME width=400 height=100 name="FloatingFrame1"
  src="http://www.chamisplace.com/tips/html/">

Since your browser doesn't support floating frames,
here's a picture of what a floating frame would
look like:<BR>

<IMG src="/i/tips/floatingframe_demo1.gif">

</IFRAME>
