Hey all,

I use Dreamweaver 8 to code and I can currently code in iFrame's and Frames. For iFrame's I just copy and paste a code I have and change the details, is there a code that I can just copy and paste so the frame's? expandable? (and yeah I would like it to be an expandable iFrame if possible) any tuts or codes posted would be very nice ty<3

I would recommend the use of DIV tags or expandable tables, apposed to 'IFRAMES'.

Forget everything you already know about iframes.

If you want to code properly and neatly, use div's, or atleast tables. iframes look extremely tacky.

K, thanks for your help and everything and your saying use Tables.. the problem is that if I have for example a radio on the page it'll keep reloading everytiime you visit a new page on the site.. and explain DIV's in more detail to me pls.

P.S: Dan I'm checking your reply out.

To refresh the radio stats, use ajax. Every x seconds get it to grab the stats again, that way your site will look MUCH neater if done correctly.

DIV's are containers for a lot of types of content, albeit pictures or text or others, and, when styled with CSS, you can get them to do whatever iframes/frames or tables do, but MUCH more suitable.
