Hi,

I'm tasked with building a web application which will display a presentation and has a frame that displays syncronized webpages. Some of the webpages that need to be displayed use the frame busting _top target and therefor take over the window stopping the presentation. I'd like to prevent this and haven't found a good way of doing it. Any ideas?

Check out http://finance.yahoo.com and watch a financevision presentation for an example. They do it with an activeX component but I'm unfamiliar with developing these components. Does anyone know of an available component that does this?

Have you tried iframe ?
eg:
<iframe src="http://pagename" height="x" marginwidth="y" frameborder="z" name="giveitaname" width="w"></iframe>

where x,y,z,w = your values

Hi

I read about iframe in your reply. I want to know more about it like where else can we use it and what are its advantages over frames

Well, I find using iframes more flexible than cutting whole page into frames. You can put them in any table, or on any layer. I also think that it is better for the search engines, as they do "not like" frames much.
