I know this is non standard but I can't use this macro because in IE, it needs this set for it to work properly.

In my wiki page, I've assigned a number of small jpgs as links to other children pages. I want the Navigation icons I've created to always be on the screen, but inorder to do that, I've had to copy and past the markup code onto every child page. Plus, there are a lot of attachments. The whole thing is quite combersome. The icons represent the majority of the coding, so what I hope to do is embed several iframes into the "mother" page, and use the icons to trigger text content appearing in the iframes.
How can I use these icons to trigger the content in the iframes?

The answer to your question is to use the target parameter in the anchors and point them at the frames you are using ... however what you are describing sounds very much like it would be much easier to achieve using a theme plugin.
Have you thought about using the Theme Builder Plugin, it's free and it's a chuff of a lot easier to maintain than the situation you have described above!

RE: iframe, I want to attach an html or pdf file to my wiki site containing a series of illustrative charts. I want to use the iframe macro to display the attachment. So far no problem, but, then I want to place anchor macros in the wiki page that call targets in the iframe so that the iframe scrolls to the desired image in the attached html or pdf. Is there a way to do this? Also, I've noticed that html files require supporting files to display graphics, which is a problem I have not yet been able to work around. Is pdf then better for my purposes, and if so, can the iframe display the pdf. if not, what is the solution to the html graphic display issue?
To complicate matters further, my wiki is a corparate site, so I'm limited to the themes set by the administrator and cannot use the Theme Builder Plugin.
What what I'm suggesting simply is not possible, then do ou have any suggestions for a work around to create a similiar effect?
Looking forwrd to your reply.

I try to do the same thing with URL's that point to PDF's that are attachments in Confluence, copying the URL's I get from the attachments page. But instead of appearing in the iframe, I get a prompt to open, save, or cancel. If I select open, the file opens in a new window, rather than in the iframe.
Why? How can I fix that?
Thank you

Given that you actively want to open the pdf in the browser, I would be looking at using an object tag rather than an iframe.

I'm using the iframe to display some flash content. Works beautifully, but I cant loose the vertical scroll bar. I've used the following code:
Should be "scrolling=no" right?
You cant actually scroll with the bar, but it's still there. What am I doing wrong?
Would you have any ideas.

Part of the issue might be that I'm usiung the iframe to call up an html file that calls a flash object. Would that contribute to the problem?

I created a left navigation theme with menus and applied the theme to three spaces.
I have created a page in each of the three spaces with the page content as
{iframe:src=http://localhost:8090/secure/VersionBoard.jspa?selectedProjectId=10000}{iframe:src=http://localhost:8090/secure/VersionBoard.jspa?selectedProjectId=10010}{iframe:src=http://localhost:8090/secure/VersionBoard.jspa?selectedProjectId=10020}so when I click on the menu of space 1 it takes me to a page which holds the project info for Project 1.
similarly for second and third space. In the above link only the projectid changes but the rest of the url remains same and also I have to create 1 page in each space to display the result. So If the number of projects increases, the number of pages too gets increased. Instead, I want to have only one page with iframe content as
{iframe:src=http://localhost:8090/secure/VersionBoard.jspa?selectedProjectId= }and pass the project key as per the confluence space from which the menu was clicked.
Is there any way to map confluence spaces to jira projects or can variables be declared in Confluence to hold jira projects as values.
Any suggestions?

In the past couple of days our Confluence installation has slowed down radically or stopped altogether. The logs for catalina from the times of these incidents show that one page is being hit hundreds and thousands of times – a page containing an iframe macro. The page displays some real-time-updated bar charts generated by a qa tool we run within our network. It's as if the page were being hit hundreds or thousands of times, which is unlikely and probably impossible.
Is it possible that the macro might be doing something flaky? It seems unlikely too, but I thought I'd check.
Thanks, R.M.

The iframe macro, as with all the other "HTML Tag macros" just outputs an html tag ... it does nothing clever whatsoever.

If you have control over the target page then you should be able to do this using javascript - the details of which will depend greatly on what you are loading.
If you don't have control over the target page then browser XSS security will (should) prevent you from altering the content of the iframe.

After the upgrade the iframe macro fails to work at all. It does not complain about an unknown macro, it simply does not work. Nothing appears. Has anyone else reported this? I cannot think of a single other thing that can explain the problem except upgrading. I have 3.5.1 installed and used the automatic upgrade function of plugins in the confluence plugin section.
Basically my website has just stopped working. Any help much appreciated.
EDIT:
Ok I just rolled back from your latest version to 1.7.0 and my wiki works once more. I wonder if this might be to do with the fact I am using zen templates possibly.
