On the Trails

The purpose of an iframe is to embed a web page inside of a web page. You would want to do this so that your viewers don’t leave your web site. It helps young students stay organized while viewing your web site.

Example

• you will need to create a typical subpage in MTP
• you will need the URL of the web site that you want to embed in the above mentioned subpage
• you will need html code (that I provide below)
• use Quicknote to hold these directions and the URL of the web site

1. While using , open two tabs
   1. one tab should display the MTP typical subpage that you are editing
   2. the other tab should display the web site that you wish to link to using the iframe html code
2. While editing the MTP subpage, click on the html tab (look at the bottom of the graphic)
3. Enter this html code
   1. <iframe src=”http://THE URL OF THE WEB SITE” border=”2″ width=”100%” height=”800″></iframe>
4. Click Save
5. Click View Page

Warning! Once you have entered the iframe code into your subpage and saved it, you will not be able to edit the code if it is wrong. You will have to copy/paste the code into the html section again. This is a glitch in MTP. So make sure you copy/paste the code into Quicknote to save you from aggravation.
