Problem with iframe

[Odowalt]

Hello,

I made a site and created an image on which I use area shapes to create a menu.
When I press a button in the menu, the corresponding page should load in the iframe 'main', but it just loads in the center of the page in stead of in the center of frame (respecting the boundaries of the frame).

Right theres your problem, your using an iframe. Sometimes its better to just use a link or php. php would be better but your host has to accept php in order to use it. Look up some tutorials on www.w3schools.com or www.pixel2life.com they're both really good.

that last link should be:

http://users.skynet.be/fa227919/home.htm :-)

When you click the first menu, you see a menu and under that an empty square with two dragons on the background, the space of that square is defined as iframe and so in there (nothing outside of it) home.htm has to be loaded when you click 'home' in the menu.

However, home.htm appears outside the frame, in the middle of the page ...

A regular link won't actually do the things I want it to do, will it?

The page has to be loaded in the defined square under the menu, not outside of and I don't know how to do it without a frame.

I will check out php then, but isn't that more of a programming language? Wouldn't see how that could help with this issue :-)

A. Your iframe isnt the same size as the space that you want it to be.
B.Your whole page is an image.

Try making the page with css/html because that little design that you have behind your content area can be done as a css background image that can be positioned in the center of the page and just suffer that the letters dont go outside the table. Your site can easily be made from a combo of css/html/php/ and trial and error. Just do some resaerch. In my mind if your going to do something take the time to research what you want to do, so you know exactly what to do, and then do it. Make a work of art. This site really can be good if you take the time to perfect upon what you need. Dont rush things and do a good job so it can be something you can be proud of.
