View Full Version : Cascading frame issues
This is when you have a page inside a page and things like that. These can be quite obscure so please list any you find here and let us know how you got to them...Such as - from home page click on mark forums all read.
You will probably discover some that we have no idea are there, then we'll be able to fix them
Thanks

What i'm using:
Computer:Toshiba Laptop
OS:WinXP homeless edition SP2
Browser: Opera 9.20
The bugs:
-no forum iframe scrollers. Have you tried using a wrapper that places a header and footer around the forum?
-forum takes longer to load than previous website version (possibly the bridge between entire website login and forum integration?)
Other than that.. the site looks really good so far!!! good work for just a couple of days downtime:D
some code i ripped from source regarding the iframes dilemna (ripped from the reply page prior to writing this):
<div class="componentheading">
BushcraftUK Community Forums </div>
<iframe
onload="iFrameHeight()" id="blockrandom"
name="iframe"
target="_top"
src="/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=285974&DontReWrite&ct=" width="100%"
height="1000"
scrolling="no"
align="top"
frameborder="0"
class="wrapper">
This option will not work correctly. Unfortunately, your browser does not support Inline Frames </iframe>
Opera does support iframes tags.. so there is something fishy goin on.
You may try this for the iframe include:
<BODY STYLE="background-color:black"><IFRAME SRC="http://www.bushcraftuk.com/coin_auxpages/forum/xxxxxx.php" ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=535 HEIGHT=950 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=YES></IFRAME>
</BODY>
Also, you could create a secondary layer in the page that you are calling the iframe into:
<div id="bcUK_1" style="position:relative; left:3px; top:1px; width:580px; height:600px; z-index:4; overflow: auto"><font-size: 11px face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#xxxxxx">
<? include "forums.php" ?>
<br>
</div>
then create a page called "forums.php" and place your includes in there...
An example of this can be found here (the main RSS/newsblock in the center): http://www.ark-valley.org
Let me know if you need a PHP development help;)
That's what i do to pay for all of my kit supplies;)

the thread about the beta testing is nesting - and with the old site style as well!

Oh yeas, I got to it via the 'new threads' link page 2
I have frame issues on the full members forum I have it on all threads, but every where else looks super.
The forum page is crowded in by the advert column, the thread page opens into the previous page obscuring the writing, Then if i reply the page opens into the page again making the reply page unusable.
I get it in the FM forum to. That's the only place I have found them so far though. :)

The link to British Blades on the msin forum menu brings the BB site up inside the BCUK frame, instead of spawning a new window or tab (I'm running IE 7)

The full members forum is fooked.

...same thing happening with the Song Of The Paddle link too, seems offsite links are not breaking out of the i-frames.
Full members forum is working super now:You_Rock_
Just trying out new featuresjust ignor me

Sounds like these cascading frame chappies might be related to the "Can't view full page" issue. It's like everything left of about the bloggs button has come loose and wandered across to the right.

Using the "forum jump" drop down from within any forum

On a slightly different note the only problem (and lets face it its a small on at that) is that when I click the wheel on my mouse to scroll down the page faster than usual scrolling it won't let me do it unless I have the curser to the side of the page.
Don't ask me how my computers set up cos I don't have the foggiest notion though:o
