    Hey there

    First I want to say that today I'm a complete newbie when it comes to html and such things, so I'm not 100% sure that this is the most relevant thread.

    Let's say I advertise in Google Adwords.(yes I saw you had a specifik thread for Google Adwords but in my opinion this is more of a techncal issue...)
    I have a own hosted website about someting, doesn't matter what. On this site there is information and pictures that is super-related to my adwords ad.

    IN this site a have an Iframe. What I want is that when the visitors from my PPC campaigns comes to the site the Iframe will immeadatly "pop-up/be there" (you understand what I mean with newbie)

    Two questions:
    1.
    Let's say my domain-name is www.mydomain.com
    Is it possible to use Iframe is such I way that when you visit the root-page (www.mydomain.com) the IFrame will be the only thing visible, BUT you can "click it away" (my english is not super) and then see the content on the site.

    So I want the IFrame to cover the whole page.

    2.
    Do you have to change someting in the url in order to see Iframes or how does it technically work? I mean do I have to use the url:
    www.mydomain.com/MyIframe.(something)
    or is the Iframe integrated in the page in such my that I only choose in the html-soruce of the homepage if the Iframe should be there or not and in either way the url to the site will remain the same?


    ONE more thing.
    What I actually want is a link to a page with relevant content to the ad. But for the visitors poiny of view they will only se a video and a form when they could opt in.
    If they want to they should be able to lock the Iframe and se the full content on the page.
    If they fill in the form they should come to a completely new page. (thank you page)



    ALSO
    For me it must not be an Iframe, only Iframe was the only method I could come up with myself :D
    Feel free to come with other suggestions if you want.

    Thanks in advice :D

    /David

    This can be done... But if you are a "newbie" than the explanation will do you no good... You are better off heading over to the BST section and hiring a programmer to do this for you.

    Thanks, then I know it's possible.

    Just one thing. You don't have to change anything in the url in order to have the iFrame displayed. I mean the Iframe, if i understand it right, is a part of the root site?

    The iframe is an area of your page (you define the size you wish to make it) that simply displays another page.

    I beleive that the iframe must load with the page that it is a part of. So, you would have to put an interactive object on top of the iframe that when clicked would no longer be visible. The the iframe becomes visible.
