[Pro] Inserting frame code

I looked up ‘previous’ first and there is lots of stuff about this but it only left me more confused so here is my situation specifically described.

Two years ago I did this website for a hotel:

http://www.dalesgate.co.uk/

It has worked fine ever since. (Thank you Freeway). The site references a third party availability/booking agency (click on the ‘Book on Line’ tab) which cordinates information directly with the hotel. All I had to do was hyperlink externally from the booking tabs (_blank) direct to the third party’s dedicated page for my client. Simple.

Now the hotel wants to leave this more expensive third party booking agent and go with a freebie one.

This requires I build a booking page within my client’s site, for which the new party have supplied code, viz:

The code creates a calendar on which the enquirer can select a date to bring up a second frame showing rooms and prices available for that date. (If you click on the link in the code above you will see what I mean.)

I intend to start my page with the master elements to match all previously created elements. It’s what happens below that which concerns me. How do I proceed? Also, it would be handy if the availability list appeared on the same page below the calendar.

Needless to say, I hate code (thank you again Freeway)

Help please?

By jove, I think I’ve cracked it!
Drew a mark-up item, pasted in code and presto!
So simple I’m ashamed I had to ask!

Thanks to all who might have responded, and I’m not too proud to have any advice which might still be useful

You could use the iFrame Action to do this. Click and hold on the
Action tool in the toolbar until you see a popup menu, and choose
iFrame from the menu. Then use that tool to draw a rectangle where you
want the iframe to appear.

Use the Actions palette to fill in the details:

If you inserted your markup item as a stand-alone (layered) layout
object, then there’s very little difference between what you already
did and what the Action can do for you. But if you inserted a Markup
Item as an inline element, which you might have done if you were
building an inline (sometimes referred to as a box-model) layout, then
the result will be invalid HTML, and browsers will be free to correct
it in an ambiguous way if they like.

No matter how you build your page, you must use a Transitional (not
Strict) output mode because iframes aren’t allowed in the Strict
doctypes.
