I need help with IFrames...

Why IFrames? Why not a div layer that is widely supported instead? IFrames tend to be IE only, I believe. But, people, correct me if I am wrong.

iframes are a standard, and supported by Netscape 6+, IE 4+, Opera 5+ (I think) and all newer browsers like Mozilla, Safari, et cetera.

Its used the same as frames, just "include" the file into the src="" area.

i was wrong, i apologize. i thought netscape supported "layer" and IE was "iframe"?

Netscape does support layer, and you've mistaken the controversy (which is years old, btw) with layer/div.
Div is the standard, layer and ilayer were ditched. ilayer was the iframe equivalent, and it WAS IE only at first, but was adopted as a standard.
Divs are the better choice in many ways, however.

It has been many-a-year since I have had an argument about frames, because of this I have completely forgotten why they are evil - this seems like a good time for Suzanne to elaborate on her point about Div's being better...

i think the initial issue with iframes was that it was something M$ made so that a site would break in everything else.
personally there's one time i think frame SHOULD be used instead of divs: when you have a completely static navigation area
i've found that if you set your browser to always check the remote insteadof your cache, or if that header is sent and your browser doesn't override it, that's the ONLY time you on't have to dl thenavigation images all over again every single time
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.

Heh, here's why DIVs are better:
1. all the content is on one page (in one temporary file) so it's accessible to any browser, user agent, or printer, in any fashion, through judicious use of CSS
2. isn't #1 enough?
