Hello,
I would like to split a PHPrunner project into multiple iframes.

Example, the search panel will be a seperate iframe from the actual table list itself.
I have a single page and will add the search panel to the top of the page, then underneath it I will embed the list frame.

The user will set their search filters and the list will populate based off of that.

You won't be able to do that. Pages open in different iframes won't be able to interact with each other.
My suggestion - instead of explaining HOW you want to achieve something explain WHAT do you want to achieve and we can suggest something.

Thanks for the help. Basically, I embedded an iFrame of my project on my website and moved the search panel fields to the header. I did this because I am using a Drupal website that uses left columns on the template for my menus. Anyways, when I embed the table I find it frustrating that the user loses the header (print, export links, etc.) When scrolling up/down and left/right.
I know I can keep the search panel fixed on the left of my project, but that makes the iframe (PHPrunner project) too wide and users must scroll to the right anyways which causes them to loose site of the search panel regardless.

..at the end of the day, if I can have the header fixed at the top (within the iFrame) then I'll be extremely happy.

I would suggest to pick a layout in Layout Editor that suits this task the best. If required you can modify layout as well moving elements like search panel to the top block.

Thank you, I will play around that for now. But for the future, may I be able to request these features?:

  • Allow for the ability to place the search panel at the top (under the header) horizontally.

    ---- Make that search panel fixed so that it always shows on-screen, even when scrolling through table data.
  • Have left and right scroll table data instead of just up and down.
    Thanks for all the help

Thanks, we'll consider this.
