Hello, a newbie here

I have an iFrame which loads fairly slowly sometimes. Is there a way to put a background color or a graphic in there first and then have it replaced when the page for the frame is finally retrieved?

You can't get to the page from a URL because the site is on a NetSuite server (which is why I have the section which my co-worker edits hosted on a different server).

So go to http://mtdmarketing.com and then click the Products/Services tab. Scroll down to the heading "Snapshot of Latest MTD Counts..."

You will see a big blank area until the frame loads.

It's supposed to load with this:
http://mtd.webguppy.com/products-insert.html


Thanks for any help,
Kitty

No. The inline frame is under the control of the SRC URL.

You mean http://shopping.netsuite.com/c.ACCT119873/site/index.html ?

Assuming it ever loads. A link to http://mtd.webguppy.com/products-insert.html would make good alternative content. See the example in our HTML reference.

Ok. I suppose I could try putting a "loading" type message in there and then have it redirect to the data I wish to have there, but I probably won't be happy with those results either.

Thanks for you quick reply, and hey, thanks for upholding the ethos of this forum so well:

Please feel free to post your question to the appropriate forum. There's no need to feel embarrassed, everyone starts somewhere.

You made me feel real special.
