That is so neat. However, I don't seem to know what i'm doing and can't seem to make it work. I copied the source code from your page, but i wasn't sure where to fill in the html name. At any rate I tried putting it in my test webpage, used the html button and entered to source code, also did that for the gallery page, added those to the add settings and previewed and there were just the squares with the red x's. Sorry I am so dumb about this.

Morning Sarah,
your iframe code should look similar to this-if your gallery files are uploaded to your server, if you placed the files in a folder then your src code would be foldername/Gallery.htm. You may have to play with the width and height of your iframe to fit your page, and you page must be the same size at least.
just copy your code into VSD using the html tool and center the box you made and preview it. If you would like to use the code I have to try -
<iframe src="Gallery.htm" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

<iframe src="http://www.kellyinfo.com/Extra/Gallery.htm" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Hi Bruzer, Here is what I tried and when I preview there is a message that it can not connect to IE. So, I've done something very wrong.

<iframe src=sockburning_htm_files/Gallery.htm"width="800"height="600"frameborders"0"scrolling="no"></iframe>

The file where the gallery is is "sockburning_htm_files". so I used the html box and entered all that in the body. Thanks for your help.

So, I used the your code, <iframe src="Gallery.htm" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> and the preview said IE cannot display, but then when I used your code from the little box there, it worked and there was your page. What am I doing wrong? thanks.

Hi Sarah,
where it says "src="Gallery.htm" this is where the page is located on my server, but since you are linking from my website to yours, the src would then be as you see it.

In other words if your html file is in the "sockburning_htm_files folder then the then it should be like this:
src="sockburning_htm_files/whatever the name of the file is.htm

if it's not in that folder it should be:
src="whatever the page name is.htm

does this make sense Sarah?

Sarah maybe this can help you.

Hi Bruzer, You really do great work. Thank you for the illustration. ok, the page on the website where I want to put this is http://www,uuchesteriver.org/SockBurning.

The folder on my computer where the files are is sock burning_htm_files

The file under that is socks2_htm_files

under that are all the pictures, so, would it be

<iframe src="http.www.uuchesterriver.org/SockBurning/sockburning_htm_files/sock2.htm" width="800" width="600" frameborders "0" scrolling="no"><iframe>


or would the source of the iframe (location) be the file for the website on my computer?

Are you pulling out your hair yet? Sorry I am so dense.

Well, obviously that wasn't it. I just tried it and it said IE can not display. I'll watch your illustration again.
