Applying Stylesheet to IFRAME contents

I'm using vbadvanced and have created a module to show information in an IFRAME.
However, the contents of the IFRAME is never formatted according to what I've set up in my style. The contents always has a white background with black text in Times New Roman.

Is there something I'm missing?
I've tried to include a class="alt1" in the IFRAME tag and have even surrounded the contents of the HTML file in tags, all to no avail.

Included is an example:

HTML Code:

<td class="$getbgrow alt1" width="100%" align="center">

<iframe title="Text" name="I1" width="100%" height="100" src="/forums/modules/text.html" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" scrolling="auto" border="0" frameborder="0">

<!-- Alternate content for non-supporting browsers -->

<a href="/forums/modules/text.html" target="_blank">Text</a>

</iframe></td>

The text.html file is a very long page and that is why I want it included in an IFRAME with a scroll bar.

HTML Code:

Blah blah blah ... Blah blah blah

I think the iframe page needs access to the style sheet on it's own, since it's loaded separately. That's just a guess :) To test this guess, save a copy of your stylesheet to a file, and add the file to the iframe page...

Sorry for being daft, but how do I do this? I understand that it needs access to the .CSS information but I have several themes on my vbulletin site, so how will I get this to work?

Ah, I didn't consider multiple styles. One possible solution is to make the iframe file a PHP file. This way you can include global.php which should give you access to the user's style.

that iframe is simply a page, so you need to use $headinclude to get the CSS properly.

I have no idea how to use $headinclude :( Please spell it out for me.

I did the following and named it text.php and it just got me a blank IFRAME :ermm: :

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



require_once('/forums/global.php');



?>

<span class="alt1"><strong>Blah...etc.</strong><br /><br />More blah</span>

Can you tell me what I should do to remedy this?

I'm trying to do the same thing. Solved the problem by putting $style[css] in the <head> tags.

When I put $style[css] in the <head> tags of the IFRAME'D html file, I get the words $style[css] showing up as text in the IFRAME.

Put it this way:

<? echo $style['css']; ?>

Thankyou for spelling this out. I'm a total PHP newbie as you can tell! :speechless:

Now, I've done what you've said and this is the code I've got:

HTML Code:

<html>

<head>

<? echo $style['css']; ?>

</head>

<body>

<span class="alt1"><strong>Blah...</strong><br /><br />Blah Blah</span>

</body>

</html>

I've named this text.html and I'm calling this using an IFRAME.
But when I do this, I just get a white background with black text and no formatting other than the bold and line breaks in the scrolling IFRAME.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
