Inline Frame

[sperry73]

I'd like to use this feature. I'm thinking it will work for what i need but then it doesnt seem to...lol
Ok so i have 5 pages in word of text that i'd like to put in the box and allow the view to use the scroll bar and read it all...
I open an Inline Frame, add it all to the Alternate text box.. it doesnt show up. So i view it in a browser thinking maybe its like an html box.. nada...
any thoughts?

Re: Inline Frame

Save your word doc as a web page, upload to server using ftp tool.
Open BV. Insert iframe, right click, type address of html file into URL section. save your bv file....This should work.

Re: Inline Frame

The inline frame is basically just a window that you can display other pages in. If you want your word documents to show in it you need to upload your word documents to your public_html folder. You can use the ftp manager or go through your control panel and select file manager, click the upload button at the top of the frame and browse for the document. Once it is up loaded you can link the document to the Iframe by double clicking inside the iframe you added and in the url field type in the link, for example:

http://www.yoursite.com/name_of_document.doc

replace the yoursite name with the name of your site and the name_of_document with the name you gave the document. Note do not use spaces in the name of the document when you save it.
Save the page with the Iframe, you can preveiw it to get the size of the Iframe right, and publish it once you are satisfied. Remember to save it after you make any adjustments or changes.

Re: Inline Frame

i may have figured it out... created a page with just the text... linked the inline frame box to it by creating the URL... does that sound right?

Re: Inline Frame

oh that would be better then i could actually see it prior to publishing it... can't i just save the word doc into my BV folder?

Re: Inline Frame

No you have to get it on your server, you have to up load it. The same thing as having to publish your pages, they have to be on the server to work.

Re: Inline Frame

well none of this is published yet... i'm just in the building stage... are you saying i should use the BV site and upload it to there... forgive me for being so bad at this... I really am not sure how to do that

Re: Inline Frame

To publish BV you are going to have to have a hosting account with VodaHost and a domain name, you can get a domain name free for one year when you sign up. Until then there is no way to link any of your pages pages or make the iframe work for this. Click the OrderNow link at the top of this page.

Re: Inline Frame

ahh ok... i have the hosting acccount... we are transferring a current site for our free transfer and then the one i'm currently working on now will be our free one.. I have an email from them with the logon info... its all a bit daunting to me... if i get this site going before the one transfer will doing that jeopardize my one free transfer?

Re: Inline Frame

You lost me how many sites are there in total, one or two? You can have as many domains (sites) as you wish on the same account as long as they are all yours (the person who signed up for the account) You will have to purchase the extra domain names though.

Re: Inline Frame

Re: Inline Frame

In the Iframe properties enter the url to the doc for example

http://www.perrys-hobbys.com/nameOfDocument.doc

If you put it inside another folder in your public_html folder add that to the url

Re: Inline Frame

its in the public_html folder... i copied it into there from the public_ftp folder... so http://www.perrys_hobbys.com/moviefeedback.doc thats it?
