Can I put a "web clip" on my iWeb page.

Question

So you know how you can have a "web clip" in dashboard where you select part a webpage and it lets you see it in a little window, I want to do that in iWeb. I want to take a part of another website (not the whole page, just a section in the middle) and add it to my site. How can I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, that can be done. You use iFrame code and an HTML snippet with this code:
<style type="text/css">
#outerDiv{overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
width:200px;
height:100px;}
#innerIframe{ position:absolute;
/* increase to nudge right, decrease to nudge left. Note negative number. */
left:-823px;
/* increase to nudge down, decrease to nudge up. Note negative number. */
top:-403.5px;
width:200px;
height:100px;}
</style>
<iframe id='innerIframe' scrolling=no src=''>
</iframe>
<script type='text/javascript'>
_rect=new Array();
_rect.push(-361.0);
_rect.push(-86);
_rect.push(460);
_rect.push(86);
_rect.push(622);
_rect.push(394);
_outer=document.getElementById('outerDiv');
outer.style.width=rect[4]+'px';
outer.style.height=rect[5]+'px';
_inner=document.getElementById('innerIframe');
_inner.src='URL OF PAGE YOU WANT TO EMBED';
inner.style.top=rect[1]+'px';
inner.style.left=rect[0]+'px';
inner.style.width=(_rect[2]rect[4])'px';
inner.style.height=(_rect[3]rect[5])'px';
</script>
That's about all I know about it. You will have to experiment with the numbers in the code to get the part of the page you need. I just tried to create a test and got it somewhat OK but know know really which numbers do what. It was a blind hit or miss at this time.
