tage like iframe?

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a tag, that sort of acts like an iframe, but
where you don't need to specify an external sourcefile. Because I'm
generating a page, I can't use 2 different files, I need to put it all in
one file. So the tag should allow content to be specified as attribute or
between the open and closing tag and the content is html-code.
e.g.:
<mysteryTag width="200" height="200"><H1>title within frame</H1> some text
</mysteryTag>

thanx in advance
Tim

You mean like including a page without including a page?

Oh. It's hard to guess what you really mean.

mysteryTag width="200" height="200"><H1>title within frame</H1> some
text </mysteryTag

My guess is is that you are trying to create a scrollable area, which is
generally a _poor_ idea.

Why don't you explain what you really wish to accomplish, in terms of
functionality, instead of tags you invented? But please continue using a
forged From line as long as you don't want to ask constructively.

Sort of.

Indeed, that's what it comes down to. I know it's a bad idea, but it
isn't my idea. This is sort of a project I'm workin on for school, and
the project-leader knows nothing about webdesign. But he has seen
webpages with frames, where you have a header-frame, a body-frame and a
footer-frame, so the header and footer are always visible, and you can
scroll the body-frame. I've tried explaining that this is old-school
webdesign, and on top of it is impossible to use, since we only can use
one file for all the code. So frames are NOT an option. It's no disaster
if it shouldn't work, but it makes the guy happy. Even though I
personnaly agree with you it's a stupid idea.

Well, as you said before, I need to add a scrollable area, that also
contains html-code and where all code has to be in one file. So without
working with references to other files like <iframe> does. Perhaps it
doesn't even exist, I've been using html for like 7 years now. But I
don't pretend to know everything. ;-)
