iframes, why am I having problems!!!

[Hybrid]

When I write the tag <iframe> in my codin it shows up a small box. When I try to write somethign inside the tags it will not show it to me, and when I try to call something it still wont show me. The file is not on a server but I am only testing it out from my computer. So how would I be able to write something inside the tags or call something from my computer and make it show in iframes. I am using firefox, IE also does not show it!!!

You can't write anything inside the tags, iframe is used to display another document.

<iframe src ="http://www.google.com" width="100%"></iframe>

Yea I found that out but that is my whole problem Scott, When I try to call a website or file from my computer to test it out it only shows either a black blank background (FireFox) or a white one(IE). Why is this happening???

I am not sure what that means I am actually trying to call a file from my computer to see if it will work and it doesn't!

OK I tried google and it worked, took teh link from bar. But now how would I get the files from my computer to load up. Would I need to still use src or somthing else?
