You can insert another HTML page inside your page by doing:

Code:

<iframe frameborder="no" 
 src="http://www.somesite.com/commonfile.html"
 name="commonFrame" scrolling="no" width="100%"  marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
  <ilayer src="http://www.somesite.com/commonfile.html">
  </ilayer>
</iframe>

This will work for all major browsers version 4 and above.

Q: How Do I insert another page inside a page?

A: iFrames.

EG: <IFRAME src = "iframe-insert.html"
width = "400"
height = "100"
scrolling = "auto"
frameborder = "1" >
Your user agent does not support inline
frames or is currently configured not to
display frames.
However, you may visit
<A href="iframe-insert.html">
the related document.</A>
</IFRAME>

» The iframe-insert.html is the outside page that you want to insert in the current page.
» iFrames CANNOT be viewed in Netscape4, but only in IE browsers and Netscape6 and above.

HTML FAQ:

Q. Do I have to put HTML attributes in quotes?

A. Only if they have spaces or special characters.

Examples of good code:

<table height=500 width=75% border=5>
<tr bgcolor=#cfcfcf>
<tr align=center>
<form name=form1 action="submitAction.cfm" method=post>
<input type=text name=titles value=history>
<input type="text" name="titles" value="history">
<input type=text name="titles of classes" value=history>

Examples of bad code:

<input type=text name=titles of classes value=history>
<input type=text name=titles value=history()of*cars/#>

If your dynamically creating pages with server side code, and your setting attributes/ values-place them in quotes just in case.

Examples of good coldfusion server side code:

<input type=text name="#query.name#" value="#query.value#">
the rendered code might look like:
<input type=text name="Types Of Beer" value="O'dells 90 Schilling">

Q. When i submit a form i do not want the message box 'form submission' dislayed or the 'email program' message box displayed. How do i get rid of these so the form is sent with no interruptions? or is there a way to make it send to my email without opening outlook.

A. If you use mailto: in the form action it will open the users default email program and give you that message, no if's and's or but's.

if you want to show a thank you page and don't want to load the users default email, then you have to use serverside language like cgi, php, or asp.

Q: How do I get rid of the gaps on my page, especially when I'm using tables?

A: Make sure that your cell information is all on one line.

<td>Information</td>

Not this:

<td>
Information
</td>

Q: How do I get rid of the blue border around images that I've made into links?

A: Properly, you should use CSS, but in a pinch, you can write your image as:

<img src="mypic.jpg" alt="My Picture Description" width="#" height="#" border="0">
