iFrame Problems

Hi there,

I am having a problem with the below page.

http://jamieallison.net/cgi-bin/pho...+Prom+Portraits

on the left hand side i have put an iframe but it doesn't seem to want to
fill the full table cell.

I have switched scrol bars on in the iframe so you can see how much of the
page is not being displayed.

I have also put some random text into the same cell so that you can see the
cell is actually the full length of the page.

When I take out the random text the iFrame stays exactly the same height.

Anyone any ideas how to make the iFrame stretch to the full length of the
page?

<html>
<head>
<title>The Picture Gallery</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../../main.css">
</head>
<body>

<table width=99%>
<tr><td>

iFrames can cause no end of problems, are not fully supported by many
browsers - see what kind of problems there are with "normal" frames. Try
using phph if your server supports it. Basically the .html file is renamed
..php and the PHP script is just inserted like an extension to the html.

Try looking for "php include" on Google - here's a couple to start you off.

SHTML is probably easier if he only wants to do a simple include - and
it's supported by more web hosts (no worries about security).

Thanks,

I have not used an shtml include on the page which works well.
