I usually try to figure these things out myself, but 2 hours
and counting is not going to help me get this done,
not to mention that when I go to the store for some easter
goodies for the grandkids, I might not be very pleasant to
the people around me! The Mad Easter Bunny!!!

Anyway, I would appreciate code help with how I
can place a URL into an exsisting page on my site, a
scrollable area that is seo friendly.

I have used iframe
in the past, but I see that from an seo viewpoint,
that my info in an iframe (which is content criticle!), is not going
to be indexed by SEO. I have read a little about DIV,
CSS, and PHP---while understanding little of it.

If someone could give me an example of code
that would work, I would appreciate it!
Here are the perameters of what I'm kinda looking for:

(Scrollable frame)src="URL"
frameborder="1" height="400"width-650" scrolling="
(Scrollable frame)

I do not understand all code but am very willing to learn!
Please explain in language that a complete idiot would get!
Not to say that I am one, but it helps me to know as a former complete
idiot, that I am not the only one who can learn from this!

I know this ain't rocket science dang it...but it does have me a bit fueled up!
Many thanks!
mf---NO not that one!

I'm not sure what you want to do. Does "place a URL into an existing page" mean you want to display the content of another page in the scrolling thing? In that case you are pretty much stuck with frames/iframe.

On the other hand, if you do this to display content from a file, for easy updating, then look into SSI (or PHP includes).

Sorry I wasn't a bit more clear.
My site includes pages from a provider site that fit into my pages so that I can
uae my own header/footer/content, and have it be looked at as my own content
for sale. right now it is inside a frame like this:
<iframe
src="http://affiliate.blahblahblahblahblah&?"
frameborder="1" height="400" scrolling="auto/on=&quot;shows&quot;"
width="650"></iframe>

I was wanting to fit it into my site pages with something else since it contained so
much viable content that really should be indexed by the search engines.
I will have probably 50 different pages to add to my site.

Would it be better to frame the header/footer, and place content in
it's own page? the content is a bit long, that is why I use it as scrollable,
just so it doesn't go on forever and ever. the people that will search the
page won't mind scrolling, because it is what they are looking for.

Thanks for your help!

OK. If you can place the content in its own page, i.e. you don't have to link to it at the content provider's page, I don't see why you would need to use frames at all. Put the header and footer at th top and bottom of each page and the content in the middle. I suspect that would screw up their affiliation tracking though.

Hi this post here will show you how to add what looks and acts like an iFrame, but without any SEO problems:

Let me know how you get on!

You can't display another page in that DIV.

Pandy is right... Only frames and/or iframes have the "target" ability to display another URL.

Yes that is true. I used the technique above to solve a problem. One of my clients *wanted* something which looked like an iFrame but had indexable content. The only other solution is to create a normal iFrame and link to the target page from another location (ie the sitemap) so the search engines can find and index the content. Not ideal though.
