On my website, the visitor has an option to click on a link and be taken to
the organisation's website. I have used iframes, to position this website
withing my website. That means that the linked website is always surrounded by
my home page. I had to be careful, as there are some organisations in the UK,
particularly local boroughs, which do not allow this kind of nesting...
My question is: when the visitor clicks on the link, the redirection may take
a while, even with 8 Mbps. A blank area, equivalent to the size of the iframe
appears, before the new page loads. This sometimes lasts few seconds,
particularly if the home page of the linked site is a large graphic. Is there
a way I can eliminate this empty space. Maybe put a 'redirecting' message in
the empty iframe? It's an irritant and would like to eliminate it. Thanks for
advice

Hi Karl,

Any particular reason why you want to open external links in this way?

Vix: I thought it a way to direct the visitor to another page to get more
information about a gardening event. By using iframe, although the visitor is
elsewhere, he still remains in my website, surounded by my environment, with
the option to do whatever he wants. Strangely enough, commercial/private
outfits don't mind. But UK government and local Boroughs object to this method
and insist, in their terms of use, that any links must be ONLY to their home
page and it MUST not be surrounded by frames,etc.
The length of the white space's presence, depends on the size of the new page.
Usually, it's 2/3 secs, but long enough to be irritating.. so, that's the
reason why I have done it so... Any other ways? .
