sorry, i know this is yet another question about frames in publisher, and
believe me i have scoured the help forums of every site there ever was with
no avail!!
I m using a form which i have created with my hosting package -
www.oneandone.co.uk and in order to integrate it into my web page (designed
in publisher) i have to add it into my webpage as a html code fragment - i
know how to do this thats fine, but when i preview the page im unbale to see
it, in fact it just comes up as a white box so i dont really know where im
going wrong, there are limitations on the form design - none of which match
the colour schemes etc for my web page so i sort of have no choice but
integrate it but how is the million dollar question, i consider myself quite
good at basic and some advanced html but im boggled! i know theres a way of
getting around the frames in publisher but i just dont know how.
The code below is what i need to insert and obviously the form itself is
stored at my hosting site, im unable to download it and upload to my own
directories.

<iframe id="tincAppDoc" src="/tinc?key=bJ7IJ2yN&formname=recommend"
width="640" height="200" style="border:none" frameborder="0"
allowtransparency="true" background-color="transparent"></iframe>

any help would be massively appreciated - sorry if ive garbled on a bit!

thanks in advance

Bonnit,

It looks like the src is wrong. An iframe holds another file, and that
doesn't seem to be a file name.

Also, background-color="transparent" has to be applied in the <head>
</head> section of the file that will fill the frame.

Are you sure you need the iframe? Have you tried just inserting the code
fragment provided by 1&1 directly into the Publisher page using the insert
html code fragment? Is the iframe part of the code they gave you?

that code ive given is the exact copy of the code they say i should put into
my page - obviously when i put it in i used html code fragment to put it, i
didnt know of any other way so i did. ive looked everywhere to find someway
of substituting the iframe part but im not that advanced and the hosting
doesnt provide any assistance at all!!
The filename is the " /tinc?key=bJ7IJ2yN&formname=recommend " part
obviously it is a form hosted by my hosting company so it is referring to
that. ive tried inserting the domain name before the / aswell and it still
doesnt help?

I don't contest the code is correct - to process the form. It does not
seem correct as a page an iframe is calling. Valid page names end in
htm, html, php, asp, pdf, jpg, png - something you can see in a browser.
Your snippet appears to be the action part of a form, such as <form
Method=Post action=/tinc?key=bJ7IJ2yN&formname=recommend>

Do you have a url for your site?
