in line frames

[threademporium]

win xp / fp2003 /
url = http://habcraft.co.uk/machine_sewing__needle_guide_und.htm

I consistently get a problem using "in line frame" feature in FP. Above URL
is latest example. Page will not open at top of page but only at the top
border of the inline frame I installed.
Previous correspondance identified a problem using word art and naming HTM
files with spaces in them. I have learnt not to do this, however my problem
remains. Last time I corrected the problem by Stefan offering me an
alteration to the HTMl code.
Is it possible I could get some advice on how to fix the problem on the page
discussed here and get some further advice on how I can prevent this problem
from occurring in the future.

Thanks for taking a look at my question.

In the iframe source, remove the bookmark.
Change
<iframe name="I1" src="machine_needle_information.htm#intro"
marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" height="120" width="460"
scrolling="yes" border="0" frameborder="0" align="middle">

To

<iframe name="I1" src="machine_needle_information.htm" marginwidth="2"
marginheight="2" height="120" width="470" scrolling="yes" border="0"
frameborder="0" align="middle">

If there is a bookmark the browser will attempt to move the bookmarked
text to the top of the browser window - hence the problem you have.
Changing the iframe width should eliminate the horizontal scroll bar
that shows. You should adjust the containing table width accordingly -
to 472 to accommodate the cell spacing.

Clicking on the alpha buttons will do the same thing - move the iframe
to the top of the browser window.

Thanks for your reply. I have made the changes you suggested and inproved the
page. It appears from what you say that if I create a hyper-link to any
content in the source file of the inline frame it force it to the top of the
page. The URL below is another example where I have used an in line frame
with the same hyper link structure, this page is able to open at the correct
point and when you use a link to change content in the in line frame it does
not move the content to the top of the page.

Is there a wayI can replicate the in line frame content behaviour on the
above URL to the problem URL.

Thanks for your attention.

If you reduce the height of the browser till you get a vertical scroll
bar, then it does exhibit the same behaviour as your other page.
