Editing IFrames

After you insert an IFrame element in a topic, you can always go back to it and edit it.

This can be done through styles or by using local formatting. Using styles is usually recommended because the setting is automatically applied to any content using that style throughout the project, whereas local formatting affects only the particular content that you are working on.

How to Use a Style to Edit the IFrame

1. From the Content Explorer, open a stylesheet.
2. In the local toolbar, make sure the first button displays . If the button displays instead, then click it.

3. In the upper-left corner of the editor, click in the drop-down field and select .

4. Select the iframe style.

5. Use the properties section on the right side of the editor to apply settings for the style. For example, you might want to control the IFrame size by editing the max-width and max-height properties, or add a border line around the IFrame by editing the border properties.

6. Click to save your work.

2. Right-click the IFrame element, and from the context menu, select Edit IFrame.
