Confusing...

This looks really useful but it seems to use undocumented features - I don't see anything in the iframe section about showing code blocks.

Optionally instead embedding the iframe source in the wiki page you can upload the HTML as a file attached to the wiki page and then use the file URL in the iframe destination.

So this is another iframe feature I'm not aware of. I'm reading http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc44. Is there more documentation on iframe?

Lastly, the example in fact shows Windows, Mac OS, and Linux… rather than one choice. Maybe it does not work on this box.

Sorry if I missed something with putting arbitrary HTML content in iframes, I thought this was insecure and thus not allowed.

As I understand I can see which OS I run on the machine of the browsing session…( no idea if this can be important later)

And about the html-usages in iframe:
"Iframe" in conjunction with html scripting is a powerful tool now!

Have a look on
http://community.wikidot.com/howto:use-html-scripting or
http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:use-any-html-code-on-a-page ( looks like the same )

Try now. It has been somewhat wrong for some time. Also notice, that the script nicely degrades, i.e. shows all systems if:

• JavaScript is disabled
• OS is not matched by script
• user clicks "Show all systems"

Sorry if I missed something with putting arbitrary HTML content in iframes, I thought this was insecure and thus not allowed.

The arbitrary HTML is now run from *.wdfiles.com domains and as as so, cannot access any content or page attributes (or run JavaScript code) from *.wikidot.com domains.

@Piotr: it works now. I'll have to explore this iframe+HTML later, it looks really useful.

Thanks! This is going to be very useful.

I would

in the Download section insert my Wikidot pages - URL's with the separated OS-dependetnt Doanload files….

And a click on the Operating system would "surfe" to the OS-dependent Download pages…

Pastword input possible?

I have a question to ask for a simple password ( or more for decisions into some different target links) on the community forum:
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-131175/if-then-statements#post-387757

Is it possible to change to create a little html / js code ( I am not html or better .js proofed) to ask for a little text and than "show" this only one allowed link ( div) and hide all others?

Hope my question is clear?

This is all a bit over my head, so please pardon my ignorance, but…

Is there a way to use something like this for a page redirect in the iframe? And is there a way to differentiate between OS versions?

For example, if a visitor is running Windows 7, the iframe page might default to index.htm.
But if they're running Windows XP, it redirects to index2.htm.
Or linux (any) it might default to index3.htm.

And so on…

Any takers? (o.O)
