Embed other websites in a post?

[DrAlf]

I've asked this question before and been told the answer (thanks Boundless) but I've completely forgotten how to do it.

How do you embed other websites in a post on the forum? Been trying to work it out myself for ages but can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

When you post a message there's a section on the left entitled 'vB Code' . Click on the [help] link.

Use the iframe tag.

go to View/Source of this page and see how I've used it here (in the text editor window that appears)
<iframe src="http://www.ukgser.com"height="400" width= "600" scrolling="yes" frameborder="1"></iframe>

Copy and paste the text below in your post and remove the space after the first < and before the last >

< iframe frameborder="1" height="800" scrolling="auto" src="@@@@@@@@@" width="650"></iframe >

Substitute the @@@@'s for the URL of the page on the site you want in your post then preveiw the post. Leave the " marks though!

Keep changing the height and width figures, (800 and 650 in the example above) in the " " until it looks right in the preview screen.

Then post. Remember to preview first though so you know you've got the right sized frame.

Not sure if Preview function works

But you do get about 30 minutes to edit the post to get it right.

And to make it easy save your iframe to a word document so you just have to cut and paste next time you want to use it. You just need to replace the web address instead of typing the whole thing out again.

How do you embed other websites in a post on the forum?

Dummies guide to >iframe< fiddling and diddling here.

Just be careful not to embed any html code from the online editions of the 'Independent'. This will result in BHT having to be called from his bed as the entire internet goes down. Been there, done that!

Technically there are legal and copyright issues pertinent to the embedding of frames from other sites. But hell..... the internet is all one big publication anyway. Publish and be damned seems to be the prevailing ethos.

More relevant to posters here....... it can be annoying if you post an image laden frame within in a predominantly text based thread and some of the viewers are'n't as broadband enabled as what you are.....

Nice work. Thanks for all the help
