Linking external HTML pages into frames

 

 

Before netscape 6, you could use the <LAYER> tag with a src="" to include external html, or text.

<layer src="myFile.htm" top="199" width="200px" left="391"></layer>



Now, you use an <IFRAME> for IE and for NS6 with a src="" to include external html or text

NS4:
<layer src="myFile.htm" top="355px" width="200px"></layer>

IE and NS6
<iframe src="myFile.htm" top="255px" width="300px" frameborder=0></iframe>


<div top="155px" width="200px"></div> -- div doesn't work for any of them for external HTML

But, if you are just placing content on that same page (and manipulating it), div works for NS6 and IE

NETSCAPE 6 DOES NOT SUPPORT THE LAYER OR ILAYER TAGS
Netscape 6 and IE (all versions) use DIV

Netscape 4 uses the layer tags to place and manipulate layers.
