Form Fields¶

Scroll Bar Parameters Tab¶

• Width Width of the IFrame Window. Enter a number of pixels or a percentage. For example, 550 means 550 pixels; 75% means 75% of the <main> container width. An absolute number of pixels may be wider than the container and cause layout problems. If in doubt, try 100%.
• Height Height of the IFrame Window. Enter a number of pixels. For example, 550 means 550 pixels.

Advanced Tab¶

• Auto height Automatically set height to the height of external page. Note - this will only work if the external page is on the same domain. For example, http://www.example.com the external html must be in the example.com root file structure. Sub domains will not work, as a sub domain is considered a separate domain.
• Auto add Automatically prefix web address with http://. This feature will automatically detect and not prefix a URL with http:// or https:// already used in the URL.
• Lazy Loading ...
