    Default Embedding a page from another site

    I love challenges but I’m a little out of my depth on this one. I have to imbed a page from another website.
    A good example is here. https://www.battlefordshumanesociety...ptable-animals

    A service called Shelter Luv supplies the code for insertion on the page, and it’s just plopped in. Somehow.
    The site I’m working on is northeastspca.org. Click on adoptions. The link takes you to another site. They want that page imbedded rather than a link. I presume this is done as an iframe.
    Thanks for the help everyone.

    Info Re: Embedding a page from another site

    Bill, it is simply the Embed a website widget.
    I have assumed you meant Adoptables but the concept is the same regardless of the URL.

    I do it manually:
    1. Size a Rectangle.
    2. In its Placeholder body (code), add:
      1. <iframe name="adopt" src="https://www.adoptapet.com/adoption_rescue/175425-north-east-spca-melfort-saskatchewan#featured", width=100% height=100%> </iframe>

    3. Save

    P.S. embed not imbed - you're thinking of imbibe as we all are!

    When you say "Size a Rectangle", does the website that's being embedded in that iframe fit that rectangle? In other words, a small rectangle will fit only a small part of the embedded website and a large rectangle will fit a large part, maybe all, of the embedded website?

    Thanks for any clarification. I'm looking to put some specialty software on my website that will allow customers to do something and the company says they can put it on a page (I don't know if it just links over to them, as the software is hosted on their servers) or they said that I can put it in an iframe.

    Try messing about with the attached xar file to see what happens. You can also change the width height to set pixel sizes rather than percentage values. This behaves in a different manner.

    Take a look at this example. https://www.northeastspca.org/adoptables.htm When I draw my placeholder, I can draw it any size. In this instance if I wanted the placeholder any larger, shorter, wider etc As Acorn mentioned check the code for percentages. I’d try to adjust the pasted code first. If you can’t do it there I just eyeball. In a phone variant the placeholder is very wide to fit the number of photos. All the functions at the top of the import work normally.

    I got around to trying that .xar file. I only moved the size of the placeholder, rather than try setting pixel sizes.

    When I preview the page in my browser, then it looks as if I was looking at the page in different size devices, i.e. desktop or mobile. That's interesting.
