I am not the admin of the board at chicagosaysno.forumup.com, but i am trying to do some html.

What we have right now is a live chat html for one of the board description. It has the ability to "float" that is, have it be able to have its own spot on the start bar, and be seperate from the webpage. The only problem is, if you navagate from the main page, the chat closes. So what i wanted to do is have a html page not hosted on forumup that had an iframe of chicagosaysno.forumup.com and has the chat under the iframe, so you can navagate in the forum without losing chat. so i put this in a html file tp test it out:

Code:

Go to the bottom of this page and enter chat. Click the float button and do not close this page or your chat will be closed. Feel free to navagate through Chicagosaysno forums, though. <iframe src ="http://www.google.com" width="100%" height="700">   <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> </iframe> <!-- START CODE Free Chat Room : DO NOT MODIFY : --> <NOSCRIPT><H1>ERROR - Chat Room Requires JAVASCRIPT!</H1></NOSCRIPT><SCRIPT Language=JavaScript SRC="http://chat-forum.com/freeaccs/FCK37490.js"></SCRIPT><A HREF="http://chat-forum.com/" target=_blank><IMG SRC="http://chat-forum.com/images/locate.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1 ALT="Free Java Chat Room" BORDER=0></A> <!-- END CODE Free Chat Room : DO NOT MODIFY : -->

it works perfectly. now when i replace google with our forumup page, instead of going in the iframe, it redirects to the actual forumup site.

Code:

Go to the bottom of this page and enter chat. Click the float button and do not close this page or your chat will be closed. Feel free to navagate through Chicagosaysno forums, though. <iframe src ="http://chicagosaysno.forumup.com" width="100%" height="700">   <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> </iframe> <!-- START CODE Free Chat Room : DO NOT MODIFY : --> <NOSCRIPT><H1>ERROR - Chat Room Requires JAVASCRIPT!</H1></NOSCRIPT><SCRIPT Language=JavaScript SRC="http://chat-forum.com/freeaccs/FCK37490.js"></SCRIPT><A HREF="http://chat-forum.com/" target=_blank><IMG SRC="http://chat-forum.com/images/locate.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1 ALT="Free Java Chat Room" BORDER=0></A> <!-- END CODE Free Chat Room : DO NOT MODIFY : -->

Do you forumup people use some type of magical gypsy html voodoo to disable the ability to iframed, or am i failing hard at html?

I am not sure what is causing the problem, but I don't believe that ForumUp was disabled from being framed on purpose. Double check if you are making everything correctly.

If it doesn't work, you can put your chat HTML at the footer section of forum and this way, it will appear on every page. (Admin Panel -> General Admin -> ForumUp)

That would be perfect- only if the program wouldn't close the floating java object. Ill try that, but i think it wont work.

You can't put a ForumUp forum in a frame on a page of a website. It is not possible to do.

What is the point of even having a forum if you want to have a chat program that will open in a new page no longer on the forum?

If you have your own webspace and just mostly want to have live chat, you may as well just do that.
