is pdf calling is possible in the frame in ruby on rails like VB for the  
dataentry purpose.

actually i m able to open a pdf in the browser but that is make the  
dataentry very complex to view the pdf and do the dataentry in the other  
window, so now i m thinking to do it in the same window like 80 % of the  
window can use the pdf image for view and rest 20 % have the data fields  
for the dataentry, can this thing is possible in the ruby on rails .

pls revert me .  
Thanks in advance

it has nothing to do with rails is a html thing and also not all browser  
open pdf in the window and it depends on user browser configuration. But  
if  
its for an intranet then you can do it easily. Iframes are not a RoR  
thing  
they are an html thing.

means in short its not possible in the ror to make the dataentry module  
as m thinking.

Sure. Rails doesn’t get in the way of structuring your HTML however you  
like.
