Framing an external link?

[sarahtoshiko]

Hi, I am new on the forum. I have a REW site and I am trying to frame a website in but the site is to big for the frame, if that makes sense. I do not care if you can not see the whole page at once but there is no bar to scroll over to the other side of the page. If you go to my site you will see what I mean. It is under the financing tab and it is the mortgage 101 link at the bottom of the page. I tried making the frame bigger but I can't make it too mich bigger or else it screws up the side bar. Any help would really help me!!

By the way, the site is not done!
Thanks

Sarah, are you trying to adjust the width or the height? In terms of height you can adjust the parameter to as high as you want, I suggest doing this so that there is no vertical scroll. In terms of width, you are limited to the div which contains your content. Iframing whole websites "inside" websites is not what the iframe is meant to do, thus with any kind of side navigation on your site, another full webpages with the same absolute width will naturally not fit without horizontal scrolling.

First off, Sarah, you're framing in my Mortgage 101 page that has my information on it. Thanks for reminding me that I need to redo my header on that page. But you certainly don't want people calling & contacting me. In fact, if they click on the link my entire REW site will be in your site. I don't think you want that.

You can create your own Mortgage 101 (mortgage101.com) page with your information, links & other customization. Just go to Mortgage 101 & look around (it's been so long since I've had that up I can't remember where to go to start your own free account).

Otherwise nice site. I never knew that site of Marc's was a template. I like your color combo.

Hi Sarah, I changed the width of the iframe to 100%. and made the content div just a little bit wider. Seems to fit a bit better. Like Auliya said, Iframing whole websites into yours is not always the best...

Thanks for the help Judy I am going to go see what you are talking about right now!

Sorry about the mixup.

I went to my site and looked up where mortgage101 takes you. I have it pointing to the home page. I do not see anyones info on there. I am sorry if I am missing something here.

Okay I went to Mortgage101 and created my own account. I am an idiot. I do have another question though, more for Morgan, I spoke to you today about that search box on the front page. The IDX guy sent me an email this morning saying that he would "normally build the quick search tools, but since the decision was made to frame these new tools into your site, it limits what we can do." I am not sure what he is talking about, but I have a call into him, should I be telling him anything?

Thanks
Sarah

Sounds about right. That is what I was explaining to you earlier - because we dont have access to his code, we cant code a custom search box, the same goes for him, because he doesnt have access to our code, he cant code a custom search box. If you want to have him call us, maybe we can work together to give you what you are looking for.
