Hi Everyone and a Happy new year !
Im wondering if someone could help me please.
Im trialling a menu here : http://www.toolhire2day.co.uk/how-to-hire

the menu on the right hand side - what i am wanting to do is get the links to open in the main Wordpress template in an iframe - i set up a widget and put the code in - but it says page not found on the various methods i have tried.
I am using Wordpress for this site and the tool hire categories are being driven from the hire companys site - thats why i have had to resort to iframes to display the content within my template.

I cant seem to get them to open - i have only done one so far which is under access and support - Folding work platforms - but this just opens the page without the surrounding WP Template at the mo.
Does anyone know if this is possible without me having to create a Page for each end every sub category - i have created pages for the top-level categories as in here :
http://www.toolhire2day.co.uk/all-to...access-support
but it would be reaaly nice to utilise thatmenu to open the sub cats in the iframe as well if i can.

I did just try this on the link , but it opens in a new window: <a href="http://decision2day.hirestation.co.u....php?cat_id=26" target="_iframe">Folding Work Platforms</a>


I also have a little problem with the arrow laying over the text in the menu that i cant seem to nail down.
Thanks for looking.

use the target attribute, given the fact that it is the sole purpose of the attribute.

yeah but in the world of wordpress that surley means i have to define a page with the frame and the 'name of the frame' which kind of defeats the object?????? I'm trying to avoid that as it means 100+ extra pages .....
or do i define one page with a frame embeded and then target that - sorry to be a thicko here but it's grateing me - i think i may need a pint..

I think you need a plugin for iframe.
You can download the plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/embed-iframe/ and install it in your wordpress blog.
