I have found a way of doing it, but it involves the editor/Fronter admin needing access to 'Rooms' and having the ability to add items to the 'Rooms' section. Logon to Fronter with an administrator-level account. Click on 'Room' from the left-hand side toolbar. Look at the combobox towards the upper-right area of the new main content page that appears; choose 'Customise tool package' from the list. Click on 'New Tool' from the 'Tools' list (the selection will expand on the right). Scroll to the bottom of the list and click on 'User-defined button'. Enter the Title, Description and the URL of the web page you wanted to display in the IFRAME. Once finished, ensure the new 'Tool' is set to be visible to the appropriate Fronter users or use groups. Your intended users must be able to see the new item on the left-hand side toolbar under 'Room' once they've logged in. Click on the 'Save' button to complete the configuration of the 'Room' item. Click on a given 'Room' item from the left-hand side toolbar to see the webpage you originally intended to embed in an IFRAME. http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/5839/fronterrooms.jpg For my interests, Case closed! Hope this helped and thanks for everyone else's help.

Hi all, It rears its ugly head with a new Fronter user again: how can you simply embed another web page within a given Fronter page? If you write some HTML code that should embed another web page on a given Fronter web page using the IFRAME tag, upon saving the code you are told by the system that illegal code has been stripped - your attempts to embed another document appears fruitless! e.g. (please excuse the spaces - it would only post in this condition) I've trawled through various topics on here with other technicians struggling to get objects embedded into the VLE web pages and there are talks of having the unsafe IFRAME tags unlocked at LEA level; more often than not this still doesn't rectify the problem? Surely there is a parameter you can switch on/off to prevent the VLE from stripping the HTML code you enter? If there is, could I ask someone who has had success to list a clear step-by-step set of instructions that will talk me and others through it? A workaround that I have already considered is to use the OBJECT tag, but this simply shows a blank white space (with disabled vertical scrollbars I might add) instead of the desired web page. e.g. In contrast, other VLE's such as Frog, Moodle and SharePoint-based ones all offer great support for embedding external content to the VLE web pages. Greatly looking forward to your suggestions, VLE_man
