Create an Inline Frame, like the one here and here:-
This requires you to open your page in Code & Design view and insert a little bit of HTML coding.

This is an excellent way to load scrolling content into a web page. Iframes are attached to an existing host page and consist of four parts:

  1. Host page: The HTML page in which the iframe is loaded
  2. Target page: The page that will be loaded into the host page (src="ourPage.htm")
  3. Size: The size in pixels (Width="200" Height="200")
  4. Properties: The name for the frame, the border size, and scrolling options.

To create the iframe:

Begin with two HTML documents: the host page to which you will add the code and the target page that will be loaded into the host page. (In DW, under View choose Tile Vertically to view both documents side by side, if you wish).

In the host page, choose the location for the iframe (it must be between the <body> tag. You need to open the Code and Design view.

Type the code to create the iframe:
<iframe>
The codes in HTML must be closed with a slash (/) character, like so: </iframe>, so the line will look like this before you add content: <iframe></iframe>

Now choose sizes for the iframe. Choose a height and width in pixels and add it to the code eg.:
<iframe src="yourpage.htm" width="200" height="200"></iframe>

Save and test the page by previewing it in the browser. The target page should now load into the host page. (If it doesn't, make sure that the name is correct and that both pages are in the same directory.) You may want to experiment with the sizes by changing their values for height and width.

To get rid of the border around the iframe, you can make it invisible by adding this code:
<iframe src="yourpage.htm" width="200" height="200" frameborder="0"></iframe>

The frame border should now be hidden.

.

Loading New Pages into the Iframe

If you want to load another page into the iframe, you need to target the iframe for the new page.

You must first provide a name for the frame.

1 Open the iframe host page in DW. Add name= code to name the frame and to allow other pages to load into it. Call the frame fr.

<iframe src="new page.htm" width='200" height="200" frameborder="0" name="fr"></iframe>

2 Add some links for people to click. You can use text links, buttons or another object.

3 Highlight your Link2.

4 Link to the new page in the Property Inspector. This will load the new page when the button is clicked.

5 Add the frame name fr in the Target field, a small window on the Properties Inspector. The page will now receive an order to load in the frame named fr, which just happens to be our iframe.

If you include 2 links on the host page you will provide a way for the user to go back to the original page (yourpage.htm) in the iframe after it has been replaced by our new page.

Highlight Link 1 and add this code
<a href="your%20page.htm" target="fr">Link1</a>


6 Now test the page in a web browser.
Click Link2 and the new page will open in the iframe. Click Link1 and the original page will load back up.
