Thank you, thank you! Forgot about that! - Im having a total mare with this sever - it wouldn’t let me use the wow slider because it said the wowslider.js breached its security - so removed and used the show hide target - but forgot to remove the header HTML -
Cheers!
Hi Erik,
Check that the Wow Slider app doesn’t already have an option to protect the code from clashing like this as that would be the best solution. If it doesn’t then the following code should help;
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
var noconflict = {}; noconflict.$ = jQuery.noConflict(true);
//]]></script>
Paste it into your Freeway page just after the Wow Slider code in Page > HTML Markup > Before End Body.
Hi Richard,
iFrames will create a fenced off area around your content that will isolate the iframed page from the page that the iframe is embedded into. This can be a good thing as the embedded page code can’t be easily upset by other elements on the parent page. The downside is that an iFrame is just as bad at SEO and usability as a regular frame. You will need to consider what you want to do if a search engine (for example) brings a user to a page that would normally be displayed in a frame. Do you try and detect this and open the correct parent page? Another consideration is handling links. If you want your framed page to open links in the parent window (rather than inside the iframe) then you will need to correctly target these. Allowing the user to click around inside a frame to load other pages is generally a bad idea as they won’t have any easy way to know where they are, bookmark a page or go backwards and forwards in the browser history.
Personally unless your framed content isn’t on your own server (it belongs to someone else) or you just don’t have the time to add it directly then I would always advocate adding elements directly to a page rather than using an iframe but that is just me.
Regards,
Tim.

Tim What are the pros and cons of using this method rather than an iFrame?
The only reason I have been using an iFrame was to quarantine a WOW slider which I built and placed on my server. This to allow me to use other FW actions etc. Can be a bit quicker too as you say when knocking out ideas. No links in the WOW slider just images. I suppose Google could land on it if someone was searching for ‘slider1’ Or not find it if I said do not follow ?
Whatever this code now allows me to get around this which is good news.
