What do you mean, something like this

The html file inside the iframes is put in a table. Like that you can easily add rows and content.

Simple you set your iframe code into your front page/index.html or wherever:

"<iframe src="news.htm" scrolling="auto" width="325" height="184" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" name="news"></iframe> "

And you make a new page called news.htm and work out the size of news.htm tables in order to fit into your front/index page and then simply insert what you want to say in there like i did here:


Hope this helps....!!!

Hi, Thanks for the replys, well what i was trying to do is make a thing where i can update the news and it makes little boxs for every update but i guess thats done in php which i know nothing about, how could i make the news.htm table line up perfectly with the iframe should i make the table the same size then align it? if so how should i align it to the left? thanks for the help

you&#039;ll have to tweak an&#039; refine it until its sits the way that you want it to without those anoying horizontal scrollbars...

Nice work, perhaps reduced the text size etc and use Verdana, size 1..

Tip: When using css specify font sizes in &#039;px&#039; rather than &#039;pt&#039;. This will mean your text in Mac and Windows will look relatively the same.

yep... stick with pt - much nicer for everyone.
