Thank you for clarifying that Gary

OK. I created an iframe, linked to TalkGraphics.com and I am responding to this post from inside the Web Designer browser (in Preview Page mode). If it posts, it works! One thing that does not work, and I think this was reported some time ago, is I cannot press enter to start a new paragraph. But this is a Web Designer problem. (new paragraph) Rather than copy the code and press Insert, which then takes a lot of time consuming resizing of the placeholder, I just created a placeholder the same size as the TalkGraphics forum page, and then copied the script, and pasted the script into the placeholder > BODY area.

Thanks for trying it out. I'm now doing the same thing but designer pro refuses to embed talkgraphics.com or google.com so I embedded bing.com, than ran it in preview mode and searched for talkgraphics and here I am!

Why would pressing ENTER not work? What do you mean it's a designer problem? I'm typing this in browser preview mode but I don't see how that could matter?

I'll see how this post turns out.
Thanks.

I've been wondering what you meant by "Web Designer" browser. I guess you mean the window that comes up when you click preview web page - it has "Internet Explorer Preview" in the title bar. I'll see if pressing ENTER works here.

<I pressed ENTER twice>Now I'm gonna post this.

BTW - I did my previous one from google chrome.

Print this out and follow these steps:

1. Create a rectangle the size that you want to display the external site on your website.
2. Drag the Embed a Website widget from the gallery onto the page (it will open)
3. Enter the URL for the site you want to embed
4. Click Generate Code
   
5. Highlight the code and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl c or Edit > Copy)
6. Close the Embed a Website widget
7. Select the placeholder rectangle
8. Go to Website Properties > Placeholder
   
9. Click HTML Code (Body)
10. Paste the code (Ctrl v or Edit > Paste)
11. Click OK to close the dialog and then click Apply.
12. Close the Website Properties menu
13. Preview the page.

ok, I've done that and now I'm posting using the preview with "bing" as the URL.

ENTER is working.
I'm not sure why you asked me to do this but after I've posted this I'll go back and see if having talkgraphics.com as the URL works.

ok, now I've made www.talkgraphics.com as the URL and it works.
Cool, thankyou. The other way was kind of clunky and designer pro seemed to struggle at design time.
