iFrame

[M.T.O]

Hey, new here. I'm making a website and I'm having troblem with iFrame. My friend gave me an idea about it, but I can't make it work.

I'd like to just enter text and have a BG color, nothing special, but when I try to enter text it doesn't work, and in DreamWeaver, it doesn't give me the option to enter the bgcolor tags in the iframe tags.

Could someone help me out?

NO NO NO! Please... SAY NO TO IFRAMES!!

Use anything else, but don't use iFrames. They make for bad design, annoy people, and I even heard there was some security exploit because of it.

If you insist on using iframes, then locate the document which is targeted by the iframe, then edit those background colors.

I personally love iFrames because you can put a lot more text onto your homepage. As for what you said about locating the document which is targeted by the iFrame, I really have no idea how to do that because I'm not the greatest with HTML. I know my basics, but DreamWeaver really helps.

<iframe src="http://www.yourdomain.com/sampleinsertfile.htm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="468" height="336" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe>
legend:
src : the source domain/file to be inserter
marginwidth = margin inside frames (horizontal)
marginheight = margin inside frames (vertical)
width = width in pixels
height = height in pixels
border = 0 for none, 1 pixel for thickness
style = Use background, or any css commands
scrolling = yes or no
you might want to try placing on style this value " background-color: #00ff00" to control the color
