Hi @sk44tyler, Currently this is possible by using more than one screen and using the button block to switch between the screens, try it out and let us know what you think. |

Hello - thanks for your reply. I have tried this, however if you point the block to an external URL, then you cannot get back to the main screen (when utilizing a touch screen), without restarting the device. This is why I was thinking it would be nice to have a dedicated drop down type of functionality embedded in a website/frame block… that way the user could switch to different content within the same website/frame block, after viewing an external URL. The whole idea would be to view different content within the same window, without traveling to a different screen. |

Sorry if I was unclear, my suggestion was to overlay buttons that would switch to another screen, that would contain an iframe, on that screen it would overlay a button as well to return back to the previously screen. Not all sites will allow you to use traditional back gestures/buttons unfortunately these days, so its easy to get stuck unfortunately. |

Sorry - I understand what you’re saying now and that will work. I guess I was trying to do this without invoking another screen, since I don’t have any additional screens under my current plan (essential). I guess I need to consider upgrading to a higher plan so I can get more screens :). Thanks for your time. |

Here's what I'm thinking... it would be great to have a "dynamic website/frame" block. What I mean by this is the user could populate more than one option of content to display in a given website/frame block. Then when a user is viewing the Dakboard on a touchscreen, they could select the content they wish to view (e.g. drop down menu) and the website/frame block would automatically refresh with the chosen block's content. EXAMPLE: The user populates two options for the website/frame block: a whiteboard and an external URL to a school calendar. When the user wants to draw on the whiteboard they can select that option or when they want to view the school calendar they can select that option. Thoughts?
