I have sent an e-mail to Todd and asked him for help, so hopefully he'll respond.

I think you need to add new content to the database that is to be displayed in the frames, depending on the Query String that you pass to the page.

thanks for that, i have been working on the database all day, i finally was able to get frame2a to show it working on its self, unfortunatly as i'd saved it as .....# when i went to rename it i lost the working file I lost the workings so i'm busy trying to recreate it again you are right it is the data base and a lot of working out as the 36 pieces of data it becomes to a lot more. lets hope you get a reply

It is as i thought the database is 5x the size it was and now all the links in frames1a thru frame2d all work
independently I would still like to hear what the author comes up with as I might still have it wrong.

Again Thanks for that i will keep checking,...... blockContent.asp?sectionID=19&list=true&width=166 ........blockContent.asp?sectionID=49&list=true&wi dth=166......
this is just two to show you the change from last night

That indeed looks a lot better than:

blockContent.asp?sectionID=1&list=true&width=166
blockContent.asp?sectionID=1&list=true&width=166
blockContent.asp?sectionID=1&list=true&width=166

Hi Imar
Just a quick one tonight....I have tried to put pages into these links with file type of .htm, but for some reason this is not working all i'm getting is the little red cross in the upper left corner, but if i use .jpg i can see these types, can you help or explain why these pages are not being seen...
I guess the author is not interested in my other queries ....

Best regards

Mike

Not sure if interest is the leading issue here. Time is an important factor as well... ;)

Anyway, you can't just link to HTML files and expect them to be embedded. In ASP, you can use ASP includes to include HTMl content. However, for that to work you need to parse the page (e.g. request it as http://SomeServer/SomePage.asp) But since you're outputting database records *in* a parsed page, that is not an option for you. The database records need to contain all the HTML you want to display.

HtH,

Thanks for that it, works fine with the simple .jpg just thought the .htm were clearer on output....

thanks for all your help

You're welcome.

When you link to an image, this is what's being sent to the browser:

<img src="SomeImage.jpg" />

The browser then knows it should retrieve and display the image.

However, there's no direct substitute for this for HTML files. Since it's an image, the browser won't understand what it should display.

What you could do is use an iframe (inline frame). These behave like normal frames, and will appear as a window in a window.

So, if you add the following to the content record in the database, the page that displays that content in turn displays a sub window with the page specified by the src attribute:

<iframe src="SomePage.html" style="width: 600px; height: 300px" />

This way, you can "embed" the contents of SomePage.html in your database driven ASP page.

HtH,

Imar
