view external link or site on page (11 posts)

    I would like to show a link on page without leaving site or opening new tab or window.

    This is a promotional product site and if there is an image of a product and clicked on I would like to go to that product which is in a database of another site - without leaving site on a new page in the site.

    If I were to use frames as an example - if I have an image in a frame I would link back to the site and stay in the frame - within the site.

    Any advise?

    Do you mean place the link within iframe tag?

    Good idea - will try it and let you know how it works.

    Thanks!

    Tried iframe -

    Once I place the tag the html code becomes the visual - iframe does not seem to work with wordpress page.

    the closest thing I can see is sort of using what is called a wrapper in joomla. Where an external link is placed into a box that stays in the sites but sort of sets itself off in a preset size.

    That's pretty much what an iframe is but you must use the HTML tab for that post and never switch back to the Visual Editor.

    I see now - I just have to see how I can use that - so I can place the code in html window - never go back to visual and use the page as a menu. So that when page is clicked on it goes straight to the iframe info.

    Thanks!!!

    one last question -

    Can I use this method for image link. So if I wanted to link an image to outside database/server - and want it to come into the page - is this possible?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to put music inside a website, so i created a file named default.php:

    <iframe scrolling="auto"marginwidth="0" width="100%" height="100%" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" noresize src="index.php"></iframe>
    <iframe scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" noresize src="player.php" width="100%"></iframe>

    The music embeded tag is in player.php file and index.php is the initial page of WP.
    In httpd.conf, I configured DirectoryIndex to default.php. When I access the address in the browser, it repeats the player's frame and don't show me the frame of index.php
