Hey all,
This may sound like a strange question, but there has been much talk of integrating a forum into a site, but not in the way I am wanting. What I would like to do is, use an include statement to put the forum into a layer on my site.
The problem I am having is that the default.asp page will load in the layer fine, but it will "pop" me out of my site and load each of the pages (admin, register, etc.) in the same window without my site.
Is there a way to keep my forum "included" in the layer/table on my site?
thanks for your help!

| If I got you right: your problem is that default page is included; but when you hit the link for other "basic" pages (like forum.asp or topic.asp) they load normaly - in other words, they do not see that the default page is in a layer. |

Correct, the include statment calls the default.asp page into the layer of the main page, which works, but as you said, once you try and navigate the forum, it loads the pages into the browser not keeping "included"
the site integration MOD, probably won't help in this case. In my other site I have successfully added includes to the header and footer files, but this current site is not designed in such a way. The pages aren't actually HTML tables, they are layers on top of layers...
Here is a link (I hope I'm allowed to do this) so you can get an idea. HERE
Thanks to you both for taking the time to help.

You be best loading the forum into an IFRAME but you would discount older browsers by doing this so you would have to provide a link to open in a new window
try <iframe src="forum/default.asp" width="400" height="400"></iframe>
<noframes><a href="forum/default.asp">Go to forum</a></noframes> |

Hello,
Thanks David, HEREis the result of the IFRAME code. As you can see, it solved the problem of the frame "popping" out, but it still has some sizing issues.
I think, if anyone can give me some advice on confining that forum to that frame width, I will be happy for now....but man, doesn't a forum look a little odd in a scrollable window....ah well.

Thanks everyone.
I adjusted the tables in the inc_header file and it all seemed to fit. Thanks again. |
