PageBuilder Advanced Editing MethodsUSE THE IFRAME TAGThis method uses the unique action of the iframe tag in our MSN-TV browsers to allow it's use as an advanced editing method. The iframe is a floating inline frame for adding externally linked webpage content. Our browsers recognize the iframe tag as containing an external file for its content. However, the iframe is also a container tag; ie: the tag has both a beginning and closing tag to contain content for non-iframe browsers, like this: <iframe width="???" height="???" src="http://URLofIframeContent"> Information here for browsers that do not recognize the iframe tag </iframe> But, our browsers do not recognize the content between the iframe tags because our browsers support the iframe tags. Therefore, we can use the iframe tag to enclose and block-out the PageBuilder built-in body tag by using an opening iframe tag in the title text box, and a closing iframe tag in the first "Add text" box at the top of the PageBuilder document. The iframe method works OK with MSN-TV browsers; but, doesn't work in computer browsers without the iframe's size set to zero. An iframe tag without zero size causes an empty iframe, in default white bgcolor, to appear at the top of computer browser screens. Why? It's a puzzle to me, because the iframe tag is illegal inside the head tag, or outside the body tag, and shouldn't display any iframe content from the head tag. I wonder why these browsers don't just ignore the illegal iframe tag, like MSN-TV seems to do? Therefore; to have compatability with this method on computers, I had to add "zero" width and height attributes to the Iframe tag. This made the reguired code too long for the title text box. So, I had to close out the title in the title text box and move my relatively long webpage title to the first "Add text" box, immediately followng the closing iframe tag. The basic syntax, using blue text for the title box entry, red text for the blocked-out PageBuilder tags, and black text for the first text box, like this: </title> <iframe width="0" height="0"> blocked-out PageBuilder body tag and beginning table tags appear here </iframe> <title>PageBuilder Advanced Editing Methods</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#??????" text="#??????" link="#??????" vlink="#??????" background="http://URLofYourBackgroundImage"> <p> <table> <td> <tr> This is an open editor method. You will not have the problem with the closed basic editor screen like the style method on the previous page. |
