Hello Glenn,

Beware frames are a 20th century beast hack.
You are free to do what you want with CMSms, so you can have a frame inside a template (simple example).
You can find hints and opinions about this subject.
Know what you are doing : frames are known to be bad for accessibility and other things.

yes, i'm aware of that. nevertheless, there are times when they're quite handy. "accessibility" isn't as issue with the particular page.

I did a search for such and found very little that would hint at where there might be some documentation. I'm not afraid to read docs, there just seems to be a shortage of them here...

is there someone who can show me how i might use a Global Content Block, or at least a Page, as the src of an iframe without sharing with me that which most developers already know...? (no offense, Pierre)

Many Regards,
Glenn

You could make a page not shown in the menu with a custom template with nothing in the template but the {content} tag and use the {embed} tag, Extentions > Tags, in another page, or just use the GCB and put it in an content edit box for a page or in a template to show it on every page using that template...

OK so what do you want an iframe for?...
