IFrames and Wordpress

    Hi,

    As part of monetizing my WP blog, I worked out a cobrand
    arrangement with an affiliate. They designed a page for me
    that fits the design of my blog. They are advising me to
    integrate it on a dedicated blog page using an Iframe as
    follows:

    <iframe style="border:1px solid #B0BEC7" ID="myframe" width="800"
    frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" height="1200" src="http://www.cobrandurl....com" onload="scrollTo(0,0)"></iframe>

    o what are my options for integrating their page into my blog?
    o should I be concerned about security holes with Iframes?

    I use the Admgr plugin to integrate html banners and code for
    other affiliates and that works fine. When I added this Iframe
    using this plugin, the page just came up blank.

    Any Advice Appreciated

    George

    iFrames are a no-no. Those using web browsers without iFrame compatibility, or with iFrame features switched off, won't see your site.

    Never a good idea, and it's not good for SEO, either.

    I think that this may be against Adsense TOS! The ads must be on the page itself where they are being displayed and not put in any iFrames.

    Do you do this inside posts?

    How do you do this?

    Another update:

    I googled around and found a redirection plugin that
    allows you to do a pass-through:

    http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/

    Although it works fine, the one drawback is:

    "While you can specify another website as the target
    for a pass-through page, it should be noted that the
    contents for this are retrieved by your server, and
    it is likely that your host will not be very appreciative."

    So, if you have any alternatives, I'd appreciate
    hearing about them still. Tried using the redirect
    custom field on the page as well and it had no effect.

    Qisoftware, I'll try your tip & Thanks!

    Many Thanks for All Your Assistance

    George
