I'm trying to figure out if its possible to put an iframe in a table and this is what i have so far: http://www.liquid2k.com/jump5rox/blank.html

But the background color isn't showing up! the file should look like http://www.liquid2k.com/jump5rox/side.html --with a black background! any ideas?

Oh sorry, I thought it was already there and you were having trouble with it. Just put it there. An iframe can be just about anywhere.

It's a bad choice if you want it just to avoid updating though. Can't you use SSI or PHP includes at liquid2K?

They let you include one file in another. You can keep your menu in a separate file and the server puts it in anywhere you put a "special" tag. For SSI it could lok like so:
<!--#include file="menu.txt" -->


I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. You have a lot of tables with bgcolor="#000044" and that's blue. How does the iframe relate to this?

does that ssi work in a link? for instance, when you click on a link in the menu bar, it opens up the .txt file in the table? If so, how do you do it(what is the code)?

No, it's not like that. Think of it as cutting a piece of the code out with scissors. Any piece. A table, a paragraph, just some text without any tags at all, it doesn't matter.

The server parses the html file and looks for those SSI commands. Where it finds one it inserts the content of the corresponding file before serving the page. When you View Source in the browser it looks just like an ordinary HTML document. And it is. Virtually. ;)
