2 frames (1 uses PHP), on 1 page

Hello, firstly is this possible?

Secondly I have used iframes although the content is the same for both even though I have different id's and name's.

Heres the code so far:

Any suggestions please.

		<div id="main_2">
			<iframe src="featured_iframe.php" target="iframe_for_featured" name="iframe_for_featured" id="iframe_for_featured" height="294px" width="288px" style="border: none;">
			</iframe>
		</div>

	<div id="main_3">	
		<iframe src="news_iframe.php" name="iframe_for_news" id="iframe_for_news" height="162px" width="288px" style="border: none;">
       </iframe>
	</div>

Cheers

Yes of course you could. Just not sure why you would 😃
What suggestions are you hoping to get?

Well the reason is that when I enlarge the text/zoom on the page the text overlaps the container border (window image I have made).

If I put the content in this window in an iframe then when I zoom I will get a scroll bar - much better.

So possibly I need Javascript to do this?

Cheers for reply

Strange - Both iframe contents are shown separately - could swear I cleared the cache etc.

Anyways next problem is that when I use a link in the iframe, its goes to that link inside the iframe - what should happen is it goes to that link in the main page that holds the iframes.

You might want to look at CSS styling, and specifically the overflow property. You can specify what happens when an element pops out of its container (You would like touse hidden or scroll).

Anyway.. The iframe will give you such issues, look at target='_top' I think to solve the iframe link issue. Note that the valid XHTML may frown upon this
