I tried to put IFRAME coding into the general announcement area, so it would show right above the forum topics. When I tested it out, all I received was a blank box, and the rest of the forum itself was gone. It worked fine on a test webpage, but not the UBB board itself. Is this something that can't be done, or?? I am not real savvy when it comes to this stuff so you will likely lose me easily.  Just a warning.....

I guess I should say I tried doing this via the control panel and the general display area. I am using classic 6.50

Did you remember the close-iframe tag?
What's the URL to your board?

http://www.freaksforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi I think I got it now, however if you set it to NCAA Football, you can't scroll all the way down, and the scroll bar disappears. Again, I don't know much, I tried to resize the height, and had to set it to 200% instead of 100%, because you couldn't see the info properly. Not sure if I have it right or not, but I doubt it. Thanks for your reply.

iframe is a tag like any other. setting it's height property will be based on it's container, not what it contains

Ian thanks for the reply, can you clarify what exactly you mean.
I tried setting the height to 300%, but then there wasn't a scroll bar, and you still couldn't see all the info.
Thanks for your reply.

ok Assume a div 5px tall <div style="height: 5px;">
</div> now, set the iframe height to 100%, enclose it into div <div style="height: 5px;">
<iframe height="100%" src="..."></iframe>
</div> iframe will take 100% of its container, being 5px. Setting its height to something like 200px would be best

Ian Please look at: http://www.freaksforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi Tell me if that looks better, and is correct. If you have any suggestions let me know. I added in the very first line of what you put above, right in front of the iframe coding and it seems to have worked !!

Works in IE, doesn't work in Firefox.
You should define the iframe height in pixels instead of using a percentage rather than use a div to enclose it.

what CC said, also, I was using 5px as an exxageration to emphasize a point. more than 5px is highly reccomended

To be honest, I have no clue what either of you are talking about. I appreciate the help 110%.

<iframe height="200"></iframe> I was just making up words to make myself look smart, but CC was saying it'd be best to define an absolute height for the iframe, not using percentages
