Problem with Photoshop/IR sliced templates, Need urgent help!

Don't know where this belongs to, here or coders paradise.

I am making templates and slice them in photoshop and Imageready. Maybe mt question sound dumb but I really need help. There is a need to add an iframe but whenever in whatever template (sliced with Ps/ir) i try everything gets messed.

See this piece of HTML(the original):

Code:

<tr> <td colspan="3" rowspan="2"> <img src="images/Index_22.png" width="42" height="9" alt=""></td> <td width="456" height="451" colspan="12" valign="top" background="images/Center_Block_BG.gif" rowspan="13"><LINK REL="StyleSheet" HREF="style.css" TYPE="text/css"> <body background="images/ScanLine.PNG"> <?php include ("Blocks/Block.News.php"); echo $news; ?></td> <td colspan="4"> <img src="images/Index_24.png" width="157" height="7" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="7" alt=""></td> </tr>

When I try to add this everything gets messed(edited ver of above):

Code:

<tr> <td colspan="3" rowspan="2"> <img src="images/Index_22.png" width="42" height="9" alt=""></td> <td width="456" height="451" colspan="12" valign="top" background="images/Center_Block_BG.gif" rowspan="13"><iframe></td> <td colspan="4"> <img src="images/Index_24.png" width="157" height="7" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="7" alt=""></td> </tr>

I know I am doing something wrong related to the HTML crap, the iframe with TDs,TRs,etc...

Can someone correct it so the template won't get messed (if possible).

Thanks.

what your saying is a big ass hole appears in your template where the iframe should be? if im right then open the html page with dreamweaver, create a layer over the section you need text and then put the iframe on that. if i cba i'll give you the code, thats doubtful though

this belongs in coders paradise I guess

Well I always use this code for an Iframe:

Code:

IFRAME SRC="<*path*>" ID="<*ID*>" NAME="<*Iframe name*>" width="432" height="320" allowtransparancy="yes" border="0" frameborder="0" STYLE="position: absolute; left: 385px; top: 310px;"> </iframe>

dun know if its a good code tho

usually if u allow transparency, it only works in firefox, and opera and the other one, but not ie.

Well I took a look at your code..
There's a little mistake on the iframe code.. the correct syntax of it is:

<iframe src="somefile.php" frameborder="0" height="YYpx" id="someid" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="somename" scrolling="no/yes/auto" width="XXpx">I'm sorry but your browser doesn't allow i-frames, you won't be able to see this site correctly.</iframe>

Change the values of height and width to something less than the size of the container cell and it should look better..

I can give you a hand at this.. (if you want to .. of course).. just PM me and I'll be glad to
help you :)

EDIT: I took off the tags coz they put a very annoying scrollbar.. -.-

Transparency always works.

Alpha transparency is a different story. IE7 allows it, but Microsoft doesn't have any plans to implement it in earlier versions sadly.

Words of wisdom: iframes are gross, tables are gross... css & div for teh win!

This is a trick I use to change the Opacity.. works fine in firefox, opera, ie6+ and safari.

Code:

.style { filter:alpha (opacity=70); /* MS Internet Explorer */ filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha (style=0, opacity=70) /* MS Internet Explorer proprietory */ -moz-opacity: 0.70; /* Mozilla v1.6 and below */ opacity: 0.70; /* CSS-3 Standards */ -khtml-opacity:.70 /* Safari */ **

It gives 70% of opacity to the object. I found this using google.. I don't even remember who wrote it :tp:
Worked fine for me.

hmm, me and my mate wanted to have a transparency thingie before, but we couldnt find a code for it to work in ie... ill pass that on to him and see.

PS: we tryed making up our own code but only managed to work with page errors so we dropped it. (i think we had errors or something, ah cant remember. oh oh oh, i wanna learn css but yea im lazy. the only coding languages i know for the time being is html, a little php... and vb.net

I've tried to code it on my own too.. but then I found it on google.. so.. no need to suffer anymore :tp:
