Scrolling window in FP2000.

[gbc196]

I am putting together my webpage offline and trying to use a small scrolling
window (about 4x2 inches) in which I like to include nothing but a database
type of information listing about 100 items, their pictures, prices, taxes
.... etc, and each item will have a button (kind of BUY button) which when
pressed, that item is added to a list (kind of ORDER list) on another similar
scrolling window on the same page, for taking orders.
So, ladies and gentelmen, I clearly know what I want, but do not know how to
do it in FP. Please note that I do not want to use any shopping cart as I
will not offer Online Shopping, but simply Ordering, as I will get my webhost
to email me the resulting Order List, once done. No online customer payments
required.
I saw a similar window to the one I am "dreaming" off at
www.businessbites.com.au, under "sandwiches plus", if you like to have a
quick look at it. Tx very much.

In IE do a View, Source on that site and you can see how they do it. This
particular site is using JavaScript and DHTML to create the scroll but you
could just use an IFRAME. In FrontPage chose Insert, IFRAME

Sorry, thought you were using FP2003. In FP2000 switch to HTML View and
paste the code for an IFRAME into the spot where you want it to appear. The
code look like this:

<iframe name="myFrame" src="Frame.htm">
Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not
to display inline frames.
</iframe>

Where it says src="Frame.htm" put in the name of the page that you want to
appear in the IFRAME.

As for the site you referenced, do a View Source, then copy all the code,
open a blank page in FrontPage, switch to HTML View, delete what's there and
paste it all in. Then switch back to Design view and you can see the page.
Find the spot where the frame is and then go back to HTML View to see the
code.
