    Call Lookup with HamIsland - an alternative

    I put together some html code that will give a header consisting a US Call Lookup, DXPacket window, and solar conditions, while viewing HamIsland forums. Nothing magical, but I remember all those that want a lookup while on HamIsland, and this will get you there.

    Create a text file, call it something like "hamisland.html", and copy the following into it. Same to your hard drive. Make sure the filename has '.html' at the end, as some programs think they are smarter than you and stick .txt at the end (Microsoft Notepad comes to mind...., Wordpad will not double guess you, only ask if you are sure via dialog box)

    Code:
    <html>
<head>
<title>HamIsland Frame</title>
</head>
<body style="border: 0px; margin: 0px;">

<table style="border: 0px; margin: 0px;">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

<iframe name="I0" src="http://callook.info/mobile/" width="240" height="150">
</iframe>

<iframe name="I1" src="http://dxcluster.ham-radio.ch/top_50_ALL.html" width="480" height="150">
</iframe>

<iframe name="I2" src="http://www.hamqsl.com/solar101pic.php" width="480" height="150">
</iframe>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table  style="border: 0px; margin: 0px;" width="100%" height="80%"><tr><td width="100%">
<iframe name="I3" src="http://forums.hamisland.net/" width="100%" height="100%">
</iframe>
</td></tr></table>

</body>
</html>

    I'm just getting a blank page when I open the file in my browser (Safari 5.0.3 for OS X). Am I doing something wrong?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Can you view the page source in Safari? Check that all in the source matches what is posted here.
    I added an attachment of a screen shot to see what is expected.

    Okay, good call! When I viewed the source, it was NOT what it should have been. I will try again.

    Bingo--I copied and pasted into different text editor this time. It appears that Apple's TextEdit is like WordPad in that it tried to outsmart me by inserting a bunch of metadata in place of what I'd actually pasted into the file. I used Text Wrangler and now it's working as it should. Nice job!

<table  style="border: 0px; margin: 0px;" width="100%" height="80%"><tr><td width="100%">
<iframe name=I3 src="http://forums.hamisland.net/" width="100%" height="100%">
</iframe>
</td></tr></table>

<table style="border: 0px; margin: 0px;">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

<iframe name="I0" src="http://callook.info/mobile/" width="240" height="150">
</iframe>

<iframe name="I1" src="http://dxcluster.ham-radio.ch/top_50_ALL.html" width="480" height="150">

    Try the Call lookup, see if that works well with this setup

    It's not working right--it says you're a person when I know for a fact that you're a Republican... ;)

    Funny!

    Do you like this piece of code? I will post other 'configurations', try them if you like, make files like 'hamisland2.html, hamisland3.html,' etc..

    Yes, it's good. I'm going to play with the HTML on my copy a bit and if I come up with anything worthwhile, I'll post my code here.
