Iframes

combs84 · 10-27-2005, 11:35 AM

I am not a designer, I have everything made from me. I have minimal use with dreamweaver though. I just had 10 sites made though, and the designer uses Iframes. I like them so much though that I agreed to this. Is there anyway that I can convert them from iframes to normal pages? I am assuming if there is a way, its not as easy as I would like.

Here is an example of one of the sites: www.celticsnews.com they are all pretty similar.

Thanks for any help.

Well....why would you want to? But, if you did want to, just copy the visible HTML out of the iframe and paste it into the correct area. It's probably best to leave it how it is, far easier to update. By the way, you do know that an iFrame is just a page-within-page, right?

I dunno, I just heard that search engines don't crawl them. I don't mind them much, I am just hoping my advertisers feel the same way, but I have a feeling when i show them the sites, they may say something about them.

I also read that if the content pages are done right, that they will indeed get crawled, I was kind of confused though.

It wouldn't be too difficult. Instead of loading the page inside you would have to load it within and repeat the border.

you have to put the images on the side and use them for the td background, although the designer you have cant code/design/slice right. So you are going to have to re-slice it and re-code it (as the whole left side is one image, it needs to be broken into sections)

He also doesnt know what hes doing, sence his images are named /index_02.jpg

Two things wrong with that
1 - index_02 doesnt tell what it is.
2 - .jpg is ALOT bigger then gif, therefore, your waisting ALOT of bandwidth which you could be saving if its a .gif

if you keep it the same, then i suggest that you make the background fixed so that it looks good

You can use scrollable divs instead of iframes. You just have to make the background of that part of the table fixed, and then transfer the contents of the iframes to the divs. You can also use headers and footers so you won't have to copy them for each content page.

Why dont you use PHP Server includes instead of iFrames. SE's crawl these with ease...
