After buying the Pro version of advanced iFrames (which is an amazing piece of software), I am in the process of setting up my first iframe, and got stuck in the following:

my site is on a subdomain, like tv.asdfasdf.org, here are the iframe page AND my posts.

In the Basic Settings I put the URL as: http://tv.asdfasdf.org/wp-content/plugins/OctoshapePlayer/octoshape.html?file=testestest
(I understand that this parameter should point to the content that should open in the iframe)

If I open this URL in a normal browser window, the content shows nicely.

Now I want to open this in a layer.

So I make a link in my Wordpress post with no href and an id="link01": <a id="link01">open layer</a>
insert an advanced iframe in the post,
and put in the "Advanced Settings" -> "Open iframe in layer" -> Change parent links target: a#link01
and check "Show iframe as layer: "Yes".

Now if I click the link in my post, it darkens the screen and draws a rectangle, but no content is coming.

What could be the reason?

Thank you for your help!

PS: If I choose: Show iframe as layer: "No", the webpage shows the correct content, but not in a layer.

Is this online already where I can see this? Are any errors in the Javascript console?

I removed the access restriction, you can see the site here:
http://tv.globalcountry.org/
Look at the uppermost post ("Test Post").
I do not see severe errors in the console.

Hi The setup is not correct.

You have

<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://tv.globalcountry.org/wp-content/plugins/OctoshapePlayer/octoshape.html?file=Dec_18_2002_MSAE_67D_The_role_of_woman_in_creating_a_peaceful_world" target="_blank">open link</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a id="link01">open layer</a></p>

The important link is missing the href!

See

Your iframe has no url (about:blank) but the link does need this as this is the link dynamically added as iframe src.

Best, Michael

Thank you for your help, I am progressing now!
