Jwrapperbot is a native 1.5 content plugin enabling you to wrap an external site/script or a component via an IFrame in an Article. Parameters are available as general and locally. Instructions available when editing the plugin. Please read carefully.
When used to load a component, you should install its companion, Jtarget, which is a system plugin using the target parameter of Jwrapperbot to add a Base target tag in the IFrame. The tag added is of the type _top (or _blank) depending if you want to load a link from the Iframe replacing the existing window or in a new window. New in 1.1: as the template.css is not loaded natively, Jtarget now takes care of it.
Decompress the package first and install the 2 plugins separately.
Suggestion: if nevertheless you have some issues, please start a thread in the forum http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=473 and send a mail.
August 11, 2008: JTarget now updated to load other css than the main one in the Iframe. This is due to the 1.5 templates tendancy to need many CSS depending on parameters set for the template. This is useful only if Jwrapperbot is used to load a component.
I just wanted to say that this is an excellent plugin... only one little bug that should be in the directions on how to use... the code should look like this ---
It's missing the two outside symbols for the code to work properly. The reason why I say this is because every time I update the page, Joomla wants to add before the wrapper and after the wrapper and when that happens the wrapper doesn't work properly.

Jwrapperbot saved me a big headache when trying to wrap an internal site with a 100% height. Worked like a charm. Thanks!
This little gadget saved me from insanity after 2 hours of hair pulling from iframe problems (I even blacklisted the other user levels) but this solved the entire problem in a jiffy. Perfectly perfect so far and took me less than 15 minutes to see it, download it, install and it try it out. So far so good... Thanks you guys!
I downloading & installing jwrapperbot and jtarget - it worked perfectly. I can now show a component in an article page - without requiring the user to click on a menu or link in order to bring up the component. Wonderful!
