Actually, it is going to be part of my ASP.Net page. I was just trying to
get the most basic page to only deal with the Iframes itself. As was
correctly pointed out, I am missing the Body tags. But once I get it the
way I want it, I was going to cut and past the IFrame section into my ASP
page.
I was mainly looking at how to best display my Work docs and IFrame seemed a
good way (if I can get rid of some of the controls (views, ruler etc) as I
am only going to use this to allow our inhouse people to access the pages
quickly. They are only going to view the pages.
Thanks,
Tom.
