Question

So I think I’m missing something on terms of iframes. If run this line of php code:

  echo"<iframe>sometext</iframe>";

The iframe shows up, but the text doesn’t. Is there a way of doing this that works?

Answer 1

You don’t put text between IFRAME tags. Instead, put the text you want in the page in a separate document, and use <iframe src="otherdocument.html"></iframe>.

If what you want is for some text to show up in a separate, scrollable frame, you could also use a DIV with the appropriate style settings (set an absolute or percentage height and width, and set overflow to scroll).
