Hi, just joined the forum. XWD is a new one for me and the first Xara product. After reading the help document, there seems to be no mention about iframes implementation. I realize that some are not sold to the concept, but I find it very useful specially when you have a lot of pages with almost identical content. Is there a way of implementing it in XWD? Thanks a bunch for your help.

Hi Conrado,
you can insert iframe into the placeholder object. Create the rectangle to represent your frame, open Web Properties dialog (Ctrl+Shift+W), select "Placeholder" tab, select "Replace with HTML code" option and enter iframe code into the code field. It should look like the first image.
If you want any link on your page to be opened in that iframe, you can enter the iframe name in the target field of the link, as demostrated on the second image.
Coincidentally I was playing with iframes today. I confirm that adding them this way works fine.
It is important to define the attributes however.
<iframe src=http://URL width=100% height=100% scrolling=no frameborder=0></iframe>
Without the width or height attributes, you will get poorly sized results.
So, if you want the iframe content to fill the placeholder size, remember to add the width=100% height=100% attributes.
Note: John, you edited you post as I was writing, and thanks for the target info - that was my next play ;)
I am impressed with the quick response. Thank you John 'Covoxer' and 'Sledger' for your very valuable assistance. I'll play with it and see how it goes.
