iframe not showing sometimes

[oli22]

i am instaling  a complex video tube script' in a subfolder of main site and i made a section of this script appear on main index(root ) folder with an iframe. Recap->main index, my code, my site showing an iframe from subfolder tube script section.

 

This iframe sometimes does not load, its as  if it was not there. Is that due to connection speed?

Is there a way to make sure it always loads?Or this this bad practice and bound to remain unstable?

I am pretty sure that if you post your code, or a link to an online example, you will get more responses.

OK see here is the < iframe>  in the html:

 

...

</div>

<!--END container -->

</div>

<iframe src="http://www.mysite.com/searchEngine/" width="680px" height="205px" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="margin-left:10px;">

  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>

</iframe>

<!--START bottomContainer -->

....

 

Sometimes it does not appear

im not sure if this really works though but, hopefully it helps a little.

 

<script>
function ckframe() {
var framesrc = document.getElementById('frame').src;
var urlsrc = "http://www.mysite.com/searchEngine/";

if (framesrc != urlsrc) {
framesrc = urlsrc;
}
}

setInterval("ckframe()",1000);
</script>
<iframe id="frame" src="http://www.mysite.com/searchEngine/" width="680px" height="205px" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="margin-left:10px;">
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

Thanks,

what is the 1000 for?

It refreshes?

 

I was thinking of a 'onpageload '

If you have learnt javascript you would know what it does.

 

but still i would tell you how it works.

 

<script>

/* I created a function which would check if the frame src the same to which is your url. else it would change the frame src automatically */
function ckframe() {

// define framesrc = the frame src
var framesrc = document.getElementById('frame').src;

// define the url
var urlsrc = "http://www.mysite.com/searchEngine/";

// here is where it checks.
if (framesrc != urlsrc) {
framesrc = urlsrc;
}
}

// make an interval every second to make sure that the src is correct.
setInterval("ckframe()",1000);
</script>

<iframe id="frame" src="http://www.mysite.com/searchEngine/" width="680px" height="205px" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="margin-left:10px;">
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

if i was you, i would just use php and incude the script...

[oli22]

Iframe is from a cms i intalled in a site subfolder, it cannot be accessed thru my index, so forget about includes

 

The script is written with  .tlp's its actually more complex than a regular cms and for the moment i don't have tech knowledge

to for a better work around.

 

[ZulfadlyAshBurn]

do you know what you are actually doing? the <iframe> tag defines an inline frame that contains another document. and what do you mean the subfolder cannot be access thru index? you mean its out of the public folder? and what is .tlp? what language is it written in?

[oli22]

Actually i am doing the best i can with what i know

Sorry, it can be accessed with links from index to subfolder, but i cannot pull any sections/folders directly from the sub folder to root folder as it will not easily allow it. The script has a scrary amount of folders that interlink...

.tlp :  not quite sure,but script is written in php using .tpl extensions is  for modular architecture in a script , a step up from a regular cms,

kind of like joomla, i also seen .tlp's in phpmelody csm .

[ZulfadlyAshBurn]

.tlp usually means template? not viewable by subfolder because you .htaccess or server config's directory listing is disable?!
